UV Lighting & Blacklight Effects for Productions
Professional UV lighting fixtures are essential for creating dramatic blacklight effects, making fluorescent materials glow, and adding a unique visual dimension to any production. This category includes a range of solutions, from dedicated UV washes to versatile hex-color LED units that incorporate UV as part of their broader spectrum capabilities. These tools are frequently employed by theatre technicians, AV engineers, and production managers to achieve specific atmospheric and aesthetic goals. Key features across the range include high-output UV LEDs, often utilising COB (Chip-on-Board) technology for intense, even washes. Many units offer DMX control for precise integration into complex lighting rigs, alongside wireless control options such as D-Fi USB compatibility for Master/Slave or DMX operation. For applications requiring seamless coordination across multiple fixture types, some models feature ILS (Integrated Lighting System) compatibility, simplifying the creation of synchronised light shows. The selection encompasses compact, portable units like the Chauvet DJ COREpar UV 120 ILS, a 120-watt UV wash, and the SlimSTRIP UV-18 IRC, an eco-friendly replacement for traditional fluorescent tubes. For broader colour mixing capabilities that include UV, products such as the SlimPAR Pro H USB offer hex-color (RGBAW+UV) LEDs, providing a wide spectrum of colours and natural-looking colour temperatures. Battery-operated, true wireless options like the Freedom H1 and Freedom Flex H9 IP X6 offer unparalleled flexibility for temporary installations and events where power access is limited, with magnetic bases for versatile mounting.
