where do i buy a real black light?

i bought a black light bulb from party city, but it's shitty. it claims it's straight from the grave and used for spectacular lighting effects, but all it turned out to be it seems is a purply, dim bulb. i dont see fuzz on my pants and super glow in the dark fun like black lights i have seen in public

so where can i get a black light that isnt going to cost an arm and a leg? i'm taking this piece of crap back

cool thanks frank

looking for a place that may be local to me, but i will grab something off the web if i cant find anything here

 

i'll probably end up at spencer's gifts

 

That's where I'd go. I think Walmart might have them too though.

 

Maybe you'll be lucky with Halloween around the corner- sometimes they're sold as holiday items.

 

Home Depot or Lowes used to sell them all the way up to 4 footers.

 

Anybody remember Spencer's Gifts?

 

Yea we have one in the mall in my area. Usually have some pretty good Halloween stuff.

 

well i go back out to return extra GID BBs and the shitty black light bulb

dick's sporting goods was a breeze. ring ring and i have my 7 bucks back. (i bought too many bb's)

party city.... lines were to the back of the store almost! i dont understand! it wasnt worth waiting 20 minutes to return a 2 dollar bulb so i just left.

i drive to the small mall here because any mall with a hot topic, 2 KB toys (??) and a suncoast is sure to have a spencers, right?

so i leave the mall when the guy in hungates tells me that target has fluorescent black lights and drive all the way back to where dicks and party city is and target has fluorescent black lights! for half of what party city does! thank you halloween section!

 

holy crap what kind of radioactive shit is going on with this black light? even as it is flickering on, the GID stuff absorbs a little and starts to glow. it's freaky how thirsty for black light these glow toys are!

 

Can we see some pics please.

 

glow in the dark stuff charged up super fast and super bright and also dimmed rather quickly it seemed

these are black light off, long exposure:




black light on, normal shutter speed, higher ISO:

 

some non-GID vinyl really got radioactive looking. some would now show up in the photos unfortunately

menta's veins show up like they are lit from behind



pink and blue tosakenta are radioactive



PK custom has some orangey paint on it that really shines in the black light. this photo didnt capture it as well as it shows up


old style zag

 

some translucent vinyl ends up looking fuzzy like static on a TV
this is the clear blue DX kun
