    Default UV Stuff - Wheres best to buy?

    I am after some decent UV strip light fittings for my room along with UV spraypaint.

    I have found UV spraypaint for case modding but is this suitable for my rooms walls? Thought it would be different to have UV separate lighting from my main lighting with UV graphitti on the walls.

    Anyway any good places for UV strip lighting would be great and also on the spraypaint.

    Cheers

    Best bet is to visit a disco supplier, they sell blacklight tubes and loads of paint for blacklight effects, and the tubes have the filters in them that make them safe to look at

    Is there any commercialised place for that? Maybe on the net?

    I can't think of any near me

    Best bet is to visit somewhere to pick up a 4ft tube if you are gonna get one, they are very fragile.
    For paint and stuff, try here

    EDIT also 4ft lamps from maplin here

    UV is brilliant, I have a 2" ish tube in my room, it does your head in if you use it for too long but is brilliant in small doses. Everything white glows and I have some orrange paint on a painting that glows too. I just decorated soI havnt got it out at the moment or I would have taken some pictures, I think I will look at the UV paint, small spots on the ceiling may look good

    never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups!:thumbup:
