Checked work - nope no IP65 fixtures that do black light - interesting. Don't need much output, just to light a few scarry signs my Daughter paints every year so as to promote Holloween interest to our house. Became a challenge for me to make a margional output black light lighting fixture that was IP-65 (Rain proof.) Not on time in me making it and still not.
Found in reserach https://www.menards.com/main/lighti...544-c-7490.htm?tid=7239418363538442566&ipos=3 undercounter black lights in a LED version. Four available, three should be sufficient for a front yard. Didn't find them initially in the store until asked for help. This will work! Just need to make them IP-65 weather resistant.
A T-12 flourescent lamp shield cover will fit over the light fixture in size. Very difficult to cut - 12"x120 tooth chop saw will chip the T-12 Flourecent lamp shield cover in cutting to length. Best to Sharpee mark and cut over the size with utility kinfe than sanding table refine to size.
Size for me was what UHMW top in Forstner bit in fitting the wiring, or oak bottom in only hole saw fitting the T-12 tubing could be hole sawed out to the size of the outer T-12 tubing. Drill press usage fun! Than came problems..., Long story, if interested ask for more info on the project (router table) and once assembled.... middle tube didn
t light up . Now that it's sealed up... to fix?
