you can use UV cold cathodes, uv leds, or alot of different lights... they make uv reactive almost anything...
its kinda like a black light... |

UV Sensitive and UV reactive are the same thing, they glow under UV (black) light. The brighter the light the brighter they glow.

UV CC tubes seem to be better than the UV LED's as the CC gives a wiser dispersion of blacklight where the LED's are more directional.

If you mean does the CC give UV light then the answer is yes it does provided you buy an actual UV cold-cathode tube, coloured ones don't.

You can find UV reactive fans that come with UV cold cathode lights that mount to the fan (mounts like a fan grill). Though ive found these lights to break easily and since there on the fan you see the light which isnt to nice to look at. Regular UV Cold cathode's seem to do the best job at lighting the inside of a case (2 work best)
Other then some fans, no a UV light dosent come with UV reactive products (unless specified). |
