Sunlite LED UV Blacklight A19 Light Bulb Review and Comparison
Back from quasi-retirement to compare blacklights of various sorts, with a new affordable 365 nm LED UV blacklight by Sunlite.
Screws into a standard Edison light bulb socket, low heat output, low visible light output and low power consumption. Best of all, its a real, honest to goodness longwave blacklight.
I appear to be into other strange things as well...

Yeah, I recently bought one of those 75w incandescent black light bulbs to see if anything has changed with them, and notta. Did just buy a Wal-Mart brand LED Black Light A19 60w equivalent and got similar results to the first LED in this video where some just don't pop with that light.
U need true 365nm light or it won't work
Awesome video! Thank you. Hope to see more. Please keep the videos coming.
Great video!
So to get the real black light effect, we need to look for CCF lights with high long wave output? Like for currency testing and making goofy novelty items fluoresce? I bought some alleged black light LED lamps to finish out an order of other LEDs I was buying to modernize the various lighting in a car I had ten years ago and I was unimpressed. Like, you know the "loser horn" sound from The Price Is Right? I heard that playing in my mind when I first fired one up with a 4.7k ohm resistor (viva la resistor!) in series with that light emitting bastard and brought various fluorescent items near it. They didn't fluoresce, but I personally was incandescent - with rage. It really hurt my feelings. And those things were only like a buck a piece, whereas these CCF toobz can be a little pricey. Anyway, I should look for long wave UV output, right? I sense that the lighting industry doesn't really even care about my feelings, despite what the documentation for those LEDs said in broken English - "We care very high about customer feeling and satisfaction." I was big sad for long time.
Cool video thanks
🙌
That was cool
Thanks!
Very helpful video, thank you. I was specifically wondering if UVC would cause uranium glass to fluoresce.
I appreciate your comparisons, but if you had a better LW flashlight, like a UVBeast T3, 365 nm, you would be blown away! I have 2 of those 385 nm flashlights and they are nothing compared to the UVBeast T3 365 nm.
I think a dimmer switch adapter to slow down the fan would allow for a slower flicker effect. But I think you would lose brightness as well. They could probably be hacked to have an independent switch for the light and fan.
Thanks so much,excellent comparison for my research..!!!
variable speed fans would also help......a bit s-l-o-w-e-r fan would make for a more realistic fire....NOT a JET afterburner.
Do YOU need that special light to see the colours?
Hi, i'm interest with your Product. Please share your contact or email so we can discuss about your product
quand il était neuf il fonctionnait bien mais à la longue le tissu se tient pas droit il a tendance a tomber la ventilation perd sa puissance à déconseillé
How far were you from the poster ? I want to use this for my PC and I'm about 8 ft from fixture to PC.
That's cool. I'm going to make my own using old PC fans and cellophane and leds.
The colors seem to pop a lot more with the 1st bulb but the led bulb makes the colors so much brighter. Great vid, very helpful and you just saved me $$. . thanx. . PS, the glowing mineral specimans are very cool.
365nm LED's produce some white light
Thanks for the video!! Can you help me, i want to know what are those lights in 1:54?? I wanna try all of this and need to know what to buy.. it is so difficult to me cause i have to order from Greece.. So, if you want to help me i appreciate that.. Thanks again!
that's the LED lighting up the the ceiling fan light... I don't think you neeed to buy one of those for the flame effect to work!
Wildfire has new UV LEDs that produce very little visible light. They are amazing.
You do wear safety goggles when using the shortwave UV lamp, right?
R is it or is it an r or is it an r or is it an farts? Also, what happens when you shit in your neighbors refrigerator and forget to just wipe? This makes sometimes my balls itch and smell really really bad sometimes. Does this happen to you anybody else because i am worry alot for because it smells like rotting and i used to smell the dead possum until it was just bones anymore. Y does it happen and do that? I can scrape alot of the stuff off, but it still smell like the worst than before the possum go all the way away. Do i now apply the glue?
Thank you, Nothing is better than actually seeing the differences thanks.
Can these be used as a permanent fixture.....I have a customer that has a piece of granite(16" square) and they are wanting to mount an "eternal flame" on to....Will be used outside, so would have to withstand the weather....????
There are not outdoor fixtures, at least not ones meant for permanent installation. The first rainstorm or twig falling into the fan would kill them :(
Hey man, great video. I am wondering how I get a job like yours. I've been wanting to do that for years.
what brand and model CFL bulb did you use? PS: Thanks for the video.
(rummages around through drawers and checks fixtures) Looks like have I have 3 of them, and they are all Sunlite brand. Huh, had no idea they were all the same brand.
I want to use them on the beach. Are they batter operated?
They are not battery operated :( However, they have a pretty low power draw. They should be able to operate off of a portable battery with an AC converter, like a lot of good quality car battery jumpers have.
if mine i will use this one on the beach, i bought 4 for my house outside a.co/axPQnMW
365nm LED, although expensive, delivers the best result. With a caveat, they emit a LOT of purple light. You will want to use a special blacklight filter in conjunction with the 365nm LED. I have assembled a true blacklight flashlight out of Convoy S2 flashlight host, along with both 20mm diameter ZWB2 visible light blocking blacklight filter and a powerful Nichia NVSU233A-U365 365nm LED. It have light up my Wildfire blacklight paint sampler like a christmas tree, too bright to look at the fluorescence when the flashlight's at the point-blank. Black paint's perfect with purple light filtered out.
Hi quick question can this sit on a table or on a floor behind you will it move to much.
Nice,
Okay I need to figure out how to make a small one that can be worn on someones head - this is going to kill me DX
I painted over the majority of the blue LEDs because they were WAY too bright. My flames are more amber now and less pink. That was my main gripe with these. The blue LEDs completely KILL the effect.
Hi. Sounds great. Could you let me know the highest note this plays? I just bought the cedar D bass and I wasn't sure how much time I should be spending trying to produce a note over the higher open D. I can eek out the E just above by covering a few holes and blowing slightly harder and a slightly flat F above that but E is the highest note I can achieve. Is that all I should be aiming for? Less? Thanks
+Cosmo Spacemonkey I've been able to coax out the higher E and F, but you have to use just the right amount of breath. The F is really fugitive, so I never use it. It seems to work best when the flute has been warmed up a little by your breath, but before condensation builds too much. On the plus side, the flute nearly chromatic with alternative fingering, especially if you can half-hole the lower E you can get a lot more mileage out of it.
lol ring holder my ass!! lol that green thing is a debowler
*Note* in your LED vs. tube blacklight video, you had the same polka dot sort of orange fluorescent vase, but you said it was cadmium rather than manganese. Which is it?
+Cooper Gates As far as I can tell from research, its both. Cadmium will create different shades of red, orange or yellow depending with varying opacity depending on what else is in the glass. Manganese is used as a clarifying agent to remove green from iron contamination, or as a colorant in its own right (on its own high concentrations make a deep purple glass). Manganese and cadmium (to the best of my knowledge, as opinions seem to vary and expertise is hard to gauge) together yield brilliantly florescent yellow and orange glass with a wide absorption spectrum, while manganese without cadmium produces a sickly yellowish or greenish glow under 365 nm. I've seen the "sickly" glow in glass ranging from clear to deep blue. I am a hobbyist and not an expert, so anything I said above, aside from direct observation of visible phenomena, may be dead wrong. Don't use me as a source for a doctoral thesis or anything important :)
+giscotn Do you know below what wavelength UV is unhealthful? Except a little Vitamin D production.
Does the LED bulb state what wavelength(s) it has? Nice video btw!
+TheFreak111 This particular LED bulb operates right around the 405 nm range. I do have a newer video up that compares this bulb with a couple of others, including a newer 365nm LED bulb by Sunlite.
+giscotn Great, that comparing those is what I was looking for!
+giscotn Are you updating your original Echo Bar/fluorescent tube blacklight video, since you removed it? I enjoyed the Blu-ray laser (405 nm) and one of those in the range of 30-50 mW would be pretty darn cool. I think lasers in true UV down to around 360 nm would be a lot spendier / rarer.
how far is the hex3 throw?
+Alexander Lee Mysliwiec about how far, would it reach 20-24 feet? Thanks. helpful video.
I rewired my two with clear 16ga lamp cord woven through the chains so they hang more naturally.
That was actually really helpful! Thanks. :-)
What wave length was the flashlight?
Harley Leveque 395 nanometers. 3 years later and 365 nm LEDs are much more affordable.
giscotn where can I get some now ? I want to paint my trees outside but can’t find some affordable options . And black lights are lame unless your in a tiny room so I’m planing on using LED 90w lights
Thanks for the video. Quick question...How far does the IR remote reach?
musicmaestrodj I found the range to be disappointing. The IR sensor is located on the face of the fixture with the LEDs, so the remote doesn't work reliably if you are behind the fixtures or if they are being used as uplights. I've mostly used them as static uplights, but I did use the remoteat a New Years gig. It didn't seem very effective beyond 10 feet. Maybe I just have a bad remote and unluckily picked it out of the four remotes at my disposal, but that seems unlikely.
Can wildfire paint be used on the gundams?
I wouldn't bother. One Giga Drill Break and it would all melt off.
Wow this is awesome! What kind of ocarina is that? I want one! :-)
It is a hybrid between an inline ocarina and a Native American-style flute. The has the closed body and shape an inline ocarina, but it has the fingering, soundblock/fipple and dual air chambers of a Native American flute. I got it from a seller on ebay a long time ago, under the label Skunk Ape Flutes. It does not appear that he is in business anymore, and google searches reveal very little about him or hybrid NAF/ocarinas.
Very well done reminds me of my great grandfather and beautiful son
Wildfire paint is the best I have used so far and I do deco for Psytrance parties
Thanks for very good and informative video! I was looking a way to "light up" my blacklight posters and now I think I'll go with the cold cathode tubes. Still missing a pic or video from a far view with tube installed on top or underneath a poster. Should I get a matching wide tube or will a 12" tube for example be enough to light up whole poster with "smooth" look?
