    Thanks for the video that kind of cleared up some questions I had but I have a few more if you don't mind I know with HID bulbs the light spectrum changes with use over time color rendering index with HIDs and I'm not sure what you would call it in fluorescence and LEDs. I don't think that is near as bad with fluorescence and I was wondering if LEDs do the same? Does the Spectrum shift enough on a black light depending on which direction it goes so where it would be possible it could easily move outside of the range needed to fluoresce and how's that different for LEDs and fluorescent tubes? Also I've got a very expensive but very old resin curing LED for dental material that doesn't seem to make things fluoresce very much and has a decent amount of visible light and I'm wondering if that is normal or if I might have overpowered the emitter trying to determine what voltage it required and messed it up Richard really kind of suck considering it cost several thousand dollars and though I paid nothing for it replacing the emitter won't be easy or cheap because I'm having trouble finding it for starters but I know if I do it will be more than I'm willing to spend for another one considering the fiber optic trunk that it hooks to with the 45° angle on the end cost a couple hundred bucks to replace all by itself and since I probably won't go that route could you maybe suggest for me a good alternative to replace it with that's cheaper and maybe actually makes things the rest like a black light as I really don't have UV curing Dental material or that UV curing resin that works through the same method and I might as well use it for making things glow without all the purple light. Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my questions and thanks for sharing your knowledge on these things because none of this seems to be very intuitive and from my experience it is almost always experience beating out intuition

    • @UVBlackLights
      @UVBlackLights  Рік тому

      The spectrum doesn’t shift on a blacklight. In fluorescent bulbs you’ll lose UV output overtime and LED is the same but takes a lot longer.
      It sounds like you blew out the LED? I’m not exactly sure what you need replaced?

      @@UVBlackLights the LED emitter itself puts out plenty of light and I'm sure it's still within the UV Spectrum but not very good at making things fluoresce I have a lot of the Violet just at the edge of the visible range and the person who gave it to me pulled it out of a dumpster behind a dentist office so it may have been already a little hosed before I ever saw it but I'm just wondering because the heat sink the driver and everything is all they're together on the chip with the emitter I could replace the emitter easily and was hoping someone could recommend something for me maybe a specific emitter or a specific company with good quality LEDs that are reasonably priced that I only have to get one of or maybe two but not 50 that is high output and likely compatible with what I've got I've been driving it at 6.0 to 7.5 volts using a power supply that did not come with it but seems to do the trick and it's a crazy looking emitter like I haven't seen before that I don't need to try to match I can drive it with whatever it requires.

    I believe I know the answervafter rewatching this vid. I bought the classic no longer being made Ge 48" f40 bulbs and thought it would be a much better affect than my little fluorescent light bulb from a lamp. However the 4 bulbs in the light fixture light up the room. I can see everything in the room. Now I believe your likely going to tell me to paint my room in a darker color. Since my walls are white this must be the problem , right?

    • @UVBlackLights
      @UVBlackLights  3 роки тому +1

      Well it’s two things. The fluorescent does still have some visible light, that’s what bounces off the white walls. Darker walls will help, but you can’t make your room complete darkness with blacklights. Try reducing to 1 or 2 lamps and see if that helps any.

    Led !!!
    T5/t8 etc is a thing of the past
    You have to remember led keeps the same kelvin (color of light) throughout its lifespan.
    Fluorescent lights loose their kelvin after a certain amount of time has passed . In other words , the color will change . Just because the light works doesn’t mean it has the same color/temperature/kelvin you started with
    This goes the same for Metal halide and other high intensity bulbs.

    • @UVBlackLights
      @UVBlackLights  3 роки тому +2

      @reefmimic this is very true about the fluorescent, although we don't use kelvin in UV. Wildfires Fluorescent BLBs last about 8000 hours, it is recommended to change them out at that point because the amount of UV cuts in half even though they appear to still be "working". I probably should've said that in my video, thanks for the very helpful comment!
      Metal halides burn loads quicker than fluorescent, probably change those out half the time.
