Are these lights really UV, as in Ultraviolet Light? As in would they make stains glow like real UV lights? Could it the water cooling pipes glow?

Not sure what to say about your stains questions and i dont really want to ask either. Yes they will make the Tubes in a water cooled systen glow if you have UV dye or UV tubing. I cant add pics on here to show the pc they were used in.

Yes. They work just like normal blacklights. Depending on the color of your pipes/fluid yes, the lights could make them glow.

Nicholas, these look like having a Black Light in your case, and they do change and highlight some of the components colors in your build. I am not sure if they are real UV lights, but it does make it look really cool, and it is not to bright! The only problem I had was that I ended up having to use some glue to keep the Velcro tabs stuck to the case metal, but it was not a big deal. It would make a good low cost addition to your case looks.

These lights suck. Do not purchase them. The light is extremely faint. poorly designed. Was too low to tell if they would cause something to glow.

I've owned these for several years now. I won't say these are great, but they did last several years. They just recently died on me. I haven't removed them yet and haven't checked if they're really dead. Yes, these are real UV lights and lights up 'White' colors in your motherboard, and any UV reflective component that you have installed. I have UV reflective SATA cables (neon green), and they give a pretty good 'Ghost' light effect. So, I'm also certain that it would do the same with UV reflective pipes, etc... And since these are 'Black Lights', don't expect it to light up the inside of your CPU. They are not bright. It's not the purpose of this item. I've owned these for several years now.

It doesn't say anything about UV on the package. The graph shows little output below 400nm, <5% daylight. It's equivalent to a 10w fluorescent and a 50w incandescent.

You hafta trust that red light. The UV light has to remain sealed,it would cause a lot of damage to you if not. Like skin cancer,and possibly end up permanently blind.

You are thinking of black lights that show stains. This is a UV light that kills germs, not the same as black lights.

At times, yes. The UV light is on all the time... not just when the water is flowing through it so if no water has been used for awhile, it just sits in the tube getting UV rays and it gets warm. As soon as you run the water, it should cool down.

After using mine for about a month I also noticed the same thing and had this same question. It was like that right out of the box. After researching the manufacturers website about this product it became clear that the red light means a burnt out UV bulb. The bulb cost as much as the whole filter and was not available so I trashed the whole filter. This is clearly not a quality product. Check www.aa-aquarium.com and see what you can find out.

The ones that I have are lightly tinted, to add to the "vintage" effect. The filament operates at a fairly low temperature... these are not bright bulbs for reading, but designed to provide a nice nostalgic ambiance. Not nearly as dark appearing as the picture shows.

They will cure the same. Uv lights just take longer than an led light. . Gelish has a great mini led light for 25$ . Just b sure 2 buy the plug in adapter. . Doesn't work great with batteries ;)

The Lamp in question uses LED ( LIGHT EMMI TING DIODES ) to produce an ultra violet light ( UV Light ).Standard UV lamps that are not LED use Fluorescent tubes to produce the UV Light. The result of using the LED is that it gives a much more specific wavelength of light which in turn cures the polish MUCH quicker.

I would take out the filters from behind the UV lamp and then put the back on the unit. When you turn on the unit the UV violet color should show through the back fins of the case. If not then your UV light could be not working.

No. And I wouldn't try it, either. Buy yourself a cheap downconverter (Amazon, also?) and just plug the two together, then plug into your outlet. Done. And safe. And the lamp won't overdrive and burn out within minutes. Also, it is a good idea to connect the water inlet and outlet with copper bendable connectors, with a good gradual bend in them so the UV light is "cut off" and can't shine internally within the piping onto anything that is rubber or plastic, or the UV will eat those materials. If you have copper pipe or brass the whole way, no problem. Don't be tempted to use flex SS braided hoses - they have a rubber liner.

There is no UV lamp/bulbs in the mechanism. When you turn it over, all you will see are panels with the LED bulbs and wiring.

HI There....I believe no UV rays are emitted. RV I am not sure about. I would call Phillips lighting 1-800-555-0050 to see if they can answer your questions. I hope that helps.

Hi Sandra, I'm not sure about any UV issues regarding the usage of these lights. There are numerous studies on the benefits of the red lights and blue lights. I would suggest asking the seller. Good luck.

We had it done at a professional lighting store. It was done originally by someone that didn't know how to handle things and they hooked them to the exhaust pipes with xip ties. Needless to say they melted off. We have since changed to XK glow lights and they were done by someone that knew what they were doing so we are real happy with them. The original lights were ok. Just not mounted right. The lighting shop made them good as their man is the one that messed them up. They were replaced with the brand that they sold.
