I purchased two Everbeam 365nm 100W UV LED Black Lights for the purpose of completing a “glow” environment within my 40’x40′ (1600 sq ft) venue. These units were supposed to complement two already owned Chauvet LED Shadow black lights (discontinued in 2021). I didn’t have high expectations for the new Everbeam lights as they are rated at half the power of the Shadows and were half the price. Was I in for a surprise! Upon arrival I immediately blackened the room, placed white and fluorescent objects around the room, and ran comparison tests. The Everbeam lights blew the Shadows away, hands down. White objects up to 40 feet away glowed. Objects in front of the beam, as well as to the sides, glowed with nearly equal intensity. Thanks to the 365nm wavelength, there was very little visible “light” showing through. The Shadows, on the other hand, at 390-410nm wavelength, cast what appeared to be a purple spot light beam. Objects directly in front of the beam did glow, but nothing outside the roughly 4 foot round beam glowed and purple light was visible on everything in the beam’s path. White chairs, rather than glowing, appeared purple. As a result of my tests, I’ve decided to purchase two additional Everbeam 365nm 100W UV LED Black Lights and put the Chauvet Shadows to use elsewhere. Because nothing seems to be perfect, one criticism I have with the Everbeams is the packaging. They arrived in a plastic bag and the two rather flimsy boxes housing the lights were crushed beyond reuse. Nonetheless, the lights worked fine and I hope to get many years of use.
These lights worked great for a glow party, but I’m not sure the more expensive 365nm was worth it.
I ordered 2 of both wattage sizes, along with a different cheaper brand that was not 365nm.
These lights were cheaply built.
One light had the (metal) corner broken off in its packaging during shipping, but still worked. They are made of that cheap pot metal that snaps into pieces.
Another light had a bad row of leds that never worked, but the rest of the LED’s worked fine and it wasn’t immediately an issue. I didn’t have time to return, so I used it anyway.
Reviews seem to indicate that these run hot (and they do) and that will eventually cause failure. So I don’t have high hopes for longevity.
Compared to the cheaper (non 365nm) black lights I got from another brand, these did have a little less visible light to them, and were more of a purple color. But I ended up preferring the other lights BECAUSE they had more visible light for people to be able to see better at the party, and they still made everything glow super bright.
I use this to cure UV resin for coating fishing lures. It truly is 365nm because 395 doesn’t normally work well. It fully cures the resin in less than a minute. The light does get very hot but hasn’t caused any problems so far. I left it on for a couple hours and nothing caught on fire…
For serious application where the fluorescent element must shine without too much visible light, on a black background.
This 100 watts led reflector Black light emit very little visible light (365nm wavelength) in comparison to my ex fixture of 2×4 feet 1in dia. 80watts total neon’s but emit very high action on phosphor posters and white surface and fabric much more than the neon’s backlights i hade before.
Very satisfied
I needed a bright black light for a Halloween ghost effect and everything else was too dim and too much in the visible spectrum. This provides a great black light effect, although it is certainly not invisible in the visible light spectrum. I was concerned with the heat from the back like some of the other reviewers but it’s not bad. According to a laser thermometer, the 100W went from 60 F to 170 in fifteen minutes and 190 in an hour, so not nearly hot enough to cause a fire. Paper catches fire at something like 451 F according to google sources. It is indeed brighter than the 50W, which went to 140 and 170 respectively. I wouldn’t put them on cloth or paper though, as it might discolor. I definitely wouldn’t put them in a closed area like a box, as they will need air circulation to stay cool.
I think it would be great for a black light event.
I have quite a few UV/Black lights and ran a comparison (see pictures above.) For the price, these fixtures perform incredibly well. While I would not call this a true black light as there is a small amount of the visible spectrum, they are pretty close. The performance / efficiency of these fixtures are great. They do lean away from 365 a bit so the reds aren’t quite as prominent as with a Wildfire or a Waveform Lighting fixture but you’ll pay a LOT more for those. None of the 395nm fixtures here on Amazon come close to the same performance. I am using 5 of these in our Halloween display, in areas where I don’t mind a little visible light. Where I really need True UV / Black light, I’ll use Wildfire or Waveform lights. Great fixtures, I’ll be getting more in the future.
