A few years back I posted a thread trying to compare the types of available UV Light. I am interested in seeing if anyone has updated input into LED technology now that 4 years have gone by since that thread and the LED's are more powerful.
More to the point : Aside from the pro level fixtures like the Wildfires, has anyone had experience with fixtures such as the lower level UV LED fixtures such as the AMDJ ECO UV BAR and the AMDJ UVLED BAR16. These are 1 watt UV LED's (18 and 16 respectively). Relating strictly to the output, has anyone seen these fixtures side by side with the AMDJ 400watt Mercury Vapor UV Cannon and the Elation UV Wash, or even the 4 foot long FL Tubes? It's hard to compare given the fact that they have different beam angles and each may be better for a specific purpose, but trying to make a generally reasonable assumption is my goal. I have not seen any of these LED blacklights in person yet. Do the 1 watt versions compare in UV output potential vs the other types?
As an example scenerio, say we have a 50 x 30 room for a black light party and everyone is wearing white. Does the LED blacklight emit good looking UV light that will make the white clothing really pop? Or do they older technologies still have the edge? As an old skooler, I'm all about the clean look of Mercury Vapor. I currently would like to side by side the UV Cannon, the 4 Ft. Black Light tube, and the UVLED BAR16.
