Glow in the Dark Mini Golf – Sounds unique and a fun filled activity for any family with children. But the use of the term glow in the dark in such cases could be misleading, because the glow is achieved with the use of UV Black Lights.

So what we are really using to create the glow in the dark effects for places like bowling alleys and mini golf courses are actually either UV Black light reactive products.

Glow in the Dark vs UV Light Reactive products

Many still get confused by this. Glow in the dark products can absorb light. They release this stored light, in the form of a glow, which is only visible when the place is dark. This also means that the places has to be totally dark for glow in the dark products to work. So they cannot be used in any bright place.

UV Black light reactive products on the other hand, reflect UV rays in the form of a glow. So as long as there is a UV Black light nearby, they work extremely well. Even in semi brightly lit areas.

They cannot work if the surrounding lights, like in a very bright environment or daylight, drown the UV black lights.

So with the technicalities out of the way, we know that we need both UV light Reactive products and UV Black lights, for this to work.

It is the UV black lights that create these effects. Many ordinary things also do glow under UV black light like your teeth or white clothes. But for controlled colours, you need fluorescent pigments.
