Buy UV Disco Lights

UV Party Lights are created in a few styles such as the UV light bars and UV cannon to name a few. This effect has been used in nightclubs and other party venues for decades with one of the most common uses of UV is at tanning salons. Our selection of UV disco lights are designed for the home or to be installed as part of an event setup.

To reiterate, these lights are designed for decorative purposes and not for other specialised usages such as sanitisation, which requires a lot more power to the bulb. Usually used in dark environments, UV party lights or blacklights are known for their purple glow which reacts to bright colours almost making them shine. Neon parties happen all over the country where guests dress in garish colours for the maximum UV disco light effect.

Our selection of BeamZ UV focuses on the simplicity of use, in many cases it will be as easy as plug in and switch a button. When using at home it is always a good idea to set up a couple of UV lights at either end of the room you will use most. This provides full coverage of the UV effect, especially if you have chosen the LED UV which are far brighter than the more subtle tube lights.

Effects of UV Disco Lighting

Every year there’s a rise of UV-based orders as Halloween approaches, their effect has become used widely at costume house parties. This effect works especially well when coupled with one of our smoke machines as this combo has an eerie effect. Of course, this fits the Halloween criteria and passively dresses up your party for an accurate spooky theme that comes out great in pictures and videos.

Any UV blacklight is a light source specifically constructed to filter out much of the visible light and only lets ultraviolet light out. This is what creates the purple glow common in clubs and other nightlife venues, the effect can alter the look of many everyday items. Sometimes the additive or naturally occurring ingredients to some food will glow brightly under a UV light, you could use this to your advantage at parties.

For example, tonic water glows strongly under ultraviolet light, you could mix some tonic water with regular water to create glowing ice cubes for your guests. All in all our UV party light category is full of various ways to totally alter the atmosphere of any party or gathering you organise. Many of the products on this page can be mounted or hung up for fixed application, behind a bar for instance.

Further examples of alternate UV party light effects

UV party lights can have some interesting and surprising effects when the violet glow hits certain aspects of your celebration. For example, vanilla ice cream, sliced oranges and hot dogs each will have a different colour when under ultraviolet light. As can be seen above, this is due to the nature of some of the ingredients and you can use this to your advantage when buying party food.

If you are going the extra mile with your party, we stock UV reactive fluid for bubble machines which makes the bubbles glow in the dark. There are also small, handheld versions of the blacklights too which can be used for a variety of different things. You could order a few handhelds for your party guests which would look great as everybody socialises or dances together.

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.
