[QUOTE="LONEWOLF, post: 671042, member: 6309"] Yes but its on the very high end of the spectrum... Most UV sensitive rocks wont glow under this spectrum... UV covers the wavelength range 100-400 nm and is divided into three bands: [B]UVA (315-400 nm)[/B] [B]UVB (280-315 nm)[/B] [B]UVC (100-280 nm)[/B]. Ultraviolet light encompasses a wide range of wavelengths, but most blacklight applications utilize a narrow range of ultraviolet radiation (UV-A) to produce fluorescence effects - specifically [B]between 350 and 400 nm (nanometers)[/B]. LW.. [/QUOTE]
