black light ice paint

BLACK LIGHT ICE PAINT IS TO BE APPLIED AS YOU WOULD ANY LOGO PAINT. FOR GOOD VISIBILITY, YOU MUST KEEP THE ICE OVER THE PAINT CLEAR OF SKATE MARKS OR ANY OCCLUSION. THE USE OF A BRUSH OR SPRAYER (LARGER AREAS) IS ACCEPTABLE. 

TO ACTIVATE BLACK LIGHT ICE PAINT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE THE BEST QUALITY LIGHT AVAILABLE. WE RECOMMEND THE “WILD FIRE” LIGHT WHICH IS AVAILABLE THROUGH MOST STAGING OR LIGHTING COMPANIES. SIX (6) 750-WATT UNITS WILL COVER AN 85’ X 200’ SURFACE WHEN IN COMPLETE DARKNESS. AN EIGHT (8) FOOT BLACK LIGHT TUBE WILL ALSO WORK, BUT HAS AREA AND DISTANCE COVERAGE LIMITATIONS. CYBER LIGHTS CAN BE USED, BUT REQUIRE THE USE OF AN ULTRA VIOLET LAMP AS WELL. 

BLACK LIGHT WORKS BEST IN A DARK ROOM BUT IS EFFECTIVE WHEN USING UP TO 25% LIGHTING IN MOST FACILITIES. UPON ACTIVATION OF THE BLACK LIGHT, SOME COLOURS CHANGE PIGMENT TONE. (i.e. YELLOW WILL SHOW UP WITH A  GREEN TONE).

FOUR (4) AND EIGHT (8) BLACK LIGHT FLUORESCENT TUBES MOUNTED OVERHEAD (ie. IN THE SCOREBOARD) HAS ALSO BEEN EFFECTIVE . THE SAME TUBES ON THE PERIMETER HAVE BEEN MET WITH LIMITED SUCCESS AND WILL REQUIRE MORE LIGHTING.
