UV lighting

Beyond-violet light source

UV lighting refers to light in the ultraviolet spectrum, invisible to human eyes but useful for specific applications.

Black lights produce UV-A rays that make certain materials fluoresce, used in clubs, forensics, and detecting counterfeit currency.

UV-B and UV-C wavelengths appear in germicidal lamps, tanning beds, and water purification systems.

The club installed UV lighting that made everyone's white shirts glow.
