Buy LED UV Cannons

The UV Cannon light is designed to cast a directed beam of light onto larger spaces such as stages. This powerful light fixture can be mounted to stage trussing or to the ceiling for a very bright purple wash. The black light cannon is often built with a parabolic reflector and strong LED blacklight bulbs behind a protective grille.

All things considered, it’s clear why cannons have become one of the most popular UV options of the last two years. Extra bright UV that can be placed virtually anywhere without taking up much space whatsoever due to their compact design. While we have a few options available, a typical Cannon is slightly over a foot in length and width with a 400W power rating.

This is a very efficient way to illuminate events such as DJ performances or celebrations held within a marquee with the classic purple glow. The selection of black light cannons that we sell are made up of LED lights as opposed to traditional filament bulbs. Bulb-based systems get very hot and use a lot of electricity so we have brought a safer and energy-efficient alternative to our web store.

Black light cannon advantages

On top of all the advantages mentioned above, it must be reiterated that LED light is far brighter than bulbs. While LEDs are nothing new overall, the technology is at a point now that makes cannons more accessible and affordable than ever. UV Light Bars also have built-in UV LEDs and there are a few distinctions between the two items we can look into.

Light bars are a strip of LEDs side by side as opposed to a block of LEDs on top of one another. Side by side LEDs will spread the purple glow further horizontally as opposed to a cannon which focuses a larger, brighter beam that illuminates much further away. In terms of space both fixtures take up minimal room but the difference in the overall area of effect is huge.

A couple of cannons hung from the ceiling will do the same job as multiple light bars dotted about your venue or stage area. Depending on your budget and end usage you may even find it far more cost-effective to go this route. If you an event promoter that presents neon parties or similar UV centric events, be sure to try cannons out for yourself and see the difference it could make.

In conclusion, the advantages of our LED UV Cannons are clear and are far better value for money than many other cannons elsewhere on the internet. Much brighter, safer and more energy-efficient than similar units on the market, give a cannon a shot with ElectroMarket.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are UV cannons?

UV cannons are UV lights, except that they are much more intense, being able to emit a high-powered UV light that can create some brilliant, vibrant glowing effects. LED UV cannons consist of LED chips, a lens or reflector and a heat sink, which helps to cool the cannon down so as to not overheat it.

What are the benefits of UV cannons?

UV cannons have many different benefits. They can create a lot of visual effects, such as illuminating bright colours and/or highlighting certain features of an environment or scene.

They are also very versatile, being able to be deployed in nightclubs, concerts, theatrical productions and art installations. Additionally, they can also be used in combination with other lighting effects for even more of a dynamic lighting experience.

UV cannons are also quite durable and are able to withstand heavy use, making them a reliable lighting solution for a range of different environments.

What are LED UV cannons?

LED UV cannons use LEDs to produce high-intensity UV light. They are very energy efficient and are longer lasting than other types of UV cannons. They are great for use in nightclubs, theatrical productions, art installations and a variety of other events.

What are black light fluorescent tubes?

Black light fluorescent tubes are another form of UV cannon. They emit UV light when an electrical current is passed through them, and are most commonly used in nightclubs and theatrical productions, although they are also great for art exhibits and Halloween decorations too.

What are high-output UV cannons?

High-output UV cannons emit high levels of intense UV light to illuminate bright colours, just like its counterparts. The difference between this UV light and a normal one is simply the fact that they are bigger, therefore they have more powerful and intense UV light radiating from it. It is usually found in use in concerts, nightclubs and festivals.

How much does a UV cannon weigh?

The weight of a UV cannon is largely dependent on the size of it. They weigh anything from a few pounds to even over 100 pounds. On average, a typical nightclub UV cannon weighs anything from 10 - 20 pounds.

What are the best UV cannons?

The best UV cannon(s) for you depends on what you are looking for and what suits your needs. Main factors that should be considered when choosing the best UV cannon for you would be the place/function, your available budget and how many you need.

If you are running a nightclub, for instance, then it is likely that you would buy multiple of them to cover a bigger space, whereas if you were in a home setting, you would likely end up just buying one or two at most.

What are mercury vapour UV cannons?

Mercury vapour UV cannons use a high-pressure mercury vapour lamp, which produces light by passing an electrical current through mercury vapour inside a glass bulb, to create light. They are typically for outdoor use, for things such as streetlights or car park lights.

What are handheld UV cannons?

If you’re looking for something a little more affordable that allows more manual/physical control from the user, then a handheld UV cannon would be more suitable for your needs. Whilst it still emits a high-intensity UV light through a concentrated beam like some of its counterparts, it is smaller and more portable, which allows the user to choose what they want to illuminate, and gives them full control over where the UV light is aimed.

Can I make my UV cannons move to the music?

Yes, some UV cannons can be programmed to move to music and other sounds, with either sound-to-light mode or with DMX technology. This makes your party atmosphere go up a level and adds another dynamic to your lighting, and can be enhanced even further with other lights alongside it too.
