Hey all,
I was doing some research, and I found that UV Blacklights are decent light sources to charge up a glo disc and not hurt your eyes like camera flashes on a disc. I was curious if anyone knew if any local stores carried various blacklights. I tried searching on sites like home depot and lowes and stuff like that but didn't really find anything. I thought maybe a store similar to Hot Topic would carry stuff like that, but I don't shop at Hot Topic and don't really know. Maybe some novelty stores?
I'm also looking for UV Blacklight keychains. I know that they make them, and there are some cheap kinds and some expensive kinds. I was hoping to find a local store that sold the cheap kind so that I could try it out and see how well it energized a Glo Disc.
I know that LED's are a great way to play glow disc golf, but I have some glow discs in stock now and wanted to sell stuff that could charge them well. On top of that a LED + charged glow disc = found disc if the LED manages to pop off the disc after whacking a tree.
thx!
try spencers in gurnee mills
I have a blacklight lantern that runs off of 8 D cells but has 2 6: blacklight tubes inside it, I'm sure we could come to some kind of agreement for it.
Otherwise Spencers is your best bet (thats where I got the lantern a long time ago).

That's where I got mine as well but it is just one 6" blacklight tube. It lights up glow stuff most excellently.

Interesting site... I can't even search on the site because work blocks it... but I was able to browse to their blacklight stuff. they have a 12" blacklight that runs on 8 AA's, interesting how technology has changed for power requirements and such.
I'd be interested in using that lantern though. I might pick up something of my own as well. I just don't know when I can get up to Gurnee before the 10th!
Thx for the info!
... oh cool! There's a spencer's in the mall that is near me. That will help out greatly :)
I don't think I've been to a mall that DIDN'T have a Spencers ;)
