Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UV party light?
A UV party light is a type of lighting equipment designed to emit ultraviolet light, creating fluorescent effects in a dark environment. When turned on, it makes white and neon colours glow vividly, enhancing the atmosphere for parties, clubs, and entertainment events. These lights are popular for creating a visually striking ambience, adding an otherworldly glow to decorations, clothing, and artwork sensitive to UV light, making them a favourite for themed events and night-time celebrations.
Can I use a UV party light in a large venue?
Yes, you can use a UV party light in a large venue, but you may need multiple lights or more powerful units to ensure the UV effects are visible throughout the space. UV lights designed for larger areas can cover more ground and create the desired glowing effects on a bigger scale. It's important to strategically place the lights for optimal coverage and consider the venue's size when planning the lighting setup to achieve a vibrant, immersive UV atmosphere.
What is the difference between a LED UV party light and a parabolic reflector?
An LED UV party light is designed to emit ultraviolet light to create glowing effects in dark settings, ideal for parties and entertainment venues. It uses energy-efficient LEDs to produce UV radiation that makes fluorescent materials shine. A parabolic reflector, on the other hand, is a reflective device shaped like a parabola, focusing light or other forms of radiation to a single point. It's not a light source itself but enhances the intensity and focus of light passed through it, used in various lighting and signal devices.
Is there a difference between UV light and blacklight?
No, UV disco lights and blacklights are the same thing and produce the exact same effects during your parties.
The name ‘blacklight’ is given to UV party lights due to the fact that the light itself coming out of the bulb or LED is much darker than any other colours.
Are UV lights good for parties?
UV disco lights are great for parties, especially around the season of Halloween.
They illuminate light colours, such as white, green, yellow, and orange, in a dark environment, resulting in a neon glow-in-the-dark effect.
They are especially effective when used with neon face paint or fluorescent clothing.
Who can use UV lights for parties?
UV lights for parties can be used by anyone looking to add a unique visual element to their event, from professional DJs and event organisers to individuals hosting private parties or celebrations at home. They are popular in both large-scale entertainment venues and smaller, intimate settings, offering a way to create an exciting, glowing atmosphere that enhances the overall experience for attendees.
What does a UV party light do?
A UV party light emits ultraviolet light, causing white and fluorescent materials to glow vividly in the dark. This effect is popular for creating an atmospheric, otherworldly ambience at parties, clubs, and events, enhancing the visual experience and making decorations, clothing, and art stand out with a glowing effect. It's a creative way to add a visually striking element to any celebration or gathering.
Are UV lights safe?
Yes, UV party lights are a fantastic, harmless addition to any small or large party, especially at home or in disco venues during Halloween.
UV party lights that use LEDs instead of fluorescent lamps are also much more economic, and they last for years without needing any replacement parts.
How many UV lights do you need for a party?
For small rooms like a lounge, a single UV party light bar will be enough to fill the entire room with UV light for that unique glow-in-the-dark effect.
If your party room is larger than a big living room, it is recommended to use two higher-powered UV disco lights at either end of the room, ensuring full coverage for your party.
What UV party light should I buy?
There are several factors to consider when buying a UV light for parties.
These include the area size of your party, whether you need the light(s) to be mounted or freestanding, the length of the power cable, and of course, your budget.
We offer some battery-powered UV disco lights for freedom of placement, and we offer a wide range of different powered lights to suit both small and large events.
