Here is an old trick that we have started to use for productions. Glow tape just does not last all show if it lasts for 10 minutes. So I went down to Radio shack and got a pack of 3V watch batteries and a two pack of UV LEDs for $1.80. Then, you just slide the battery in there with the positive and negative on the right side of the battery. Next, wrap with tape and stick up where ever you need a bit of light. The best thing is they will last the whole show, even if you leave them on for the whole run. Black light is great because few things reflect it. If you are on a stage with with black curtains all you see is the point of light from the LED itself. I also thought these may make a good night light for my daughters room. The more I use black light the more I like it, and the more I find great uses for it. If you use a yellow highlighter on your skin it glows in black light and can be just barely seen in the normal light. They also make UV reflective clear markers that glow in black light. I have thought of using those instead of glow light because the small black light shining on them will keep them glowing with out needing to be recharged. Also, if you do not want to see the mark just turn off the black light and it is gone. Just think of all the fun you can have with your kids and this.
