Bought an old style flourescent from spensors last week, they had one left and bunch of led ones. the bulb popped and broke after a week....now i got led replacement it does look classy wasnt sure about all those white dots but they're allright, now hopefully it works on my 200 dollar black light poster i ordered on the way

Thank you! You are the first one that makes it easy to understand how to test the black lights. Everybody else makes it complicated and does not explain it.Well or give a good demonstration. kudos to you.

👍

Thank you; I've been wondering about the difference between fluorescent and LED black lights, and this kind of objective, scientific approach is exactly what was needed to clear up the matter. Btw, is "ambient" just another term for light in the visible spectrum, or would it be more accurately applied to light that leaks into the area from sources other than those being tested?

But you get led black lights in different wavelengths so...

Good info/video👍👊 Thank you for the demo's!

I got my fixture for $15.00 at Walmart

FINALLY. Thank you for clarifying things so clearly and succinctly! I suspected LED UV lights produced tons of spurious visible light, but could not discern this by reading product specs or user reviews. I bet most young'uns happy with LED UV lights simply have no clue that the entire point of "UV magic" is to make things light up brightly in otherwise pitch black surroundings.

Thank you

I have 2 models one of them is the original and one is the fearsome 4 ii

Hopefully one day led will be as nice as fluorescent.

I’d say the LED is worse because it emits lots of regular light, it’s like buying a gun that randomly double taps every few shots

nice work

Hello...I have the Avenger II, the big brother of the family, lol... I want to change the light bulb by a led with the same output...do you have any idea where I can find it?

Dude, this is really cool I really liked what you did with the mansion part and the end of it

Thank u! Is it the stinger II noisy? For a theater with dialogs

Thanks. Cool quick summary & proves old school lights are superior. I purchased for my 10 year old niece some fluorescent paint & told her about how we loved the fuzzy posters back in the 70's. Now have to figure out if there is a way to use black painted cloth paper to "practice" techniques before graduating to canvas.

I have a pair of adj stinger startec & I use them with my light controller & the strobe on it works excellent & able to control the lasers & colors of the lights on the stinger startec specially when I have them DMX cable together.

Tyvm I'm building a insect trap n wanted to know if the tubes or less were better now I know I'm getting the tubes n never the leds

The thing is. It will always be harder to see the farthest point in the dark. The light you are promoting is in the background. I can't take your experiment seriously.

I Own Quite a bit of Old American Dj lighting units : *Lotus *Flash beam *Helicopter (2 six head units) *4 Head Oscillator *Rotoballs

great job !!! amazing result

The DJM400 is the only pioneer mixer i like. I have the K-limited version and i really enjoed and used it a lot a few years ago! Now i'm into other stuff but i still use it in some smaller events. I love what you did, the silver faceplate really looks dope! And it looks like a pretty hard job to do, congrats! Glad to see some people still use old CDJs too, that stuff was built to last!

Ridiculous comparison to be honest. Both clearly emit different wavelengths of light. If you want to make a valid comparison into which emits less visible light you should obviously use the same wavelength to begin with since a higher wavelength on the spectrum will always equal more visible light.

Nice comparison, keep up the good work Nate! I personally think the same, white strobe or blind fx are much more useful over UV leds, especially in a party setup or wedding.

As a nerd obsessed with the 4th state of matter(plasma) I will never ever replace any discharge lamp with LEDs.

great job, could you share the file to print the vinyl?

F40T8/BLUE 40W tube light Is this same as black light ?? When I turned it ON for 5 min, then normal white led light, the white light was looking more yellower light for few minutes, then to white light. Did it affect eye badly ? Any potential eye /skin damage from using F40T8/BLUE tube light ??

How do you do this with Launchpad X?

Just came across this. Thanks for the shout out! Excellent video, and excellent programming at the end, makes me want to get a set now lol! Looking forward to seeing more from you! 👍 (its KC Caprice btw) 😉

excellent test!

Hey was the outer ring of the jog wheel black plastic sticky ? And how did you get rid of it ? Just water and soap ? Thanks !

Thanks for this video. I was having a hard time understanding this phenomenon but now it makes sense

cheers, big ears

THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW MY CHILD CAN GO ON HER PARTY BUS🎉

Are these much different to the standard 800's?

For Wedding? 365 nm old school? Or new led?

Perfect video , I’m very thankful I was so confused and your video help me 100% … led is best for me . Thank you

Hello, I am doing a special project for myself right now of building a creator/gaming desktop PC. It us the first PC I have built since the Windows 98/XP days. It is getting a custom water cooling loop (a first for me) and I am going for a 60s/70s retro rave/hippie/trippy/disco aesthetic. The case and fans are pink and some parts are white. I am looking to purchase a small usb powered “glass tube fluorescent bulb” type of light to really send the look into orbit…..anyone know where I can find that type of case lighting device? I have been searching online everywhere but all I can find are those cheap dip dot looking LED strips which I don’t like the “dotty” effect it casts, I like the smoothness of a traditional bulb. All suggestions are appreciated.

We are trying to install black light in our church for signing and puppets, we do not want the ambience of the 2nd light. What do you recommend installing for our project.

Thanks exactly what I needed to know and I had a feeling that the florescent bulbs were going to be what I want the led ones light up the area to much there more of a purple light then a black light thanks

My mixer seems to be stuck on a delay or echo mode cant get the flanger or anything else to work any idea what it could be?

Plz do more lighting fix up videos please please

Do I need the Pro or can I use the Mk2?

So simply but so valuable

But, it doesn’t have a cool name….how can that be?

Solid work! Thanks for the great info

Hey! Really nice video! I have a question, my DJM-400 stopped working and I think maybe an internal fuse burned. Since you had open it, did you see if there was one? Thank you very much!

The reason I love fluorescent blacklights is that is has a nice soft purple glow on the tubes. The issue with led black light is that is not true UV. Most led blacklights produce most of it's light in the 405nm (very deep purple) light. With the fluorescent blacklight light most of the light is 365nm. You can get 365nm leds but unfortunately they are very expensive and is more cheaper to use 405nm instead. That strong purple glow from the UV led also ruins the atmosphere when you want black light paintings to glow in the dark.
