There are a lot of common materials that fluoresce under UV light. You
might try different  brands of photocopy paper. They fluoresce to varying
degrees (from nothing to very bright!). They do this to make the paper,
"whiter than white!" This is similar to the Tide commercial that claimed
they could make your cloths whiter than white. It's true, it did!

You might also want to try it on credit cards, stamps, etc. You might be
surprised at what you see! Black lights usually come in short and the
more common long UV type.

For those that like this kind of "eye candy", you might find this sight
interesting,

They have posters that when exposed to UV, displays a different image.
They even have one that is a ChromaDepth 3-D image under UV. Imagine
that! Personally I've never seen them in real life other than on their web
site. It would be interesting to see these.

My faithful old email address will soon be retireddd.
