   Black lights actually emit as much light as 'normal' lights, but at a frequency that humans cannot detect. While most objects either absorb UV light or reflect it back at the same frequency at which it came in, fluorescent objects absorb UV light then re-emit it at a longer wavelength that human eyes can detect.

6. Mercury-vapor lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-vapor_lamp

   The ultraviolet light from mercury-vapor lamps was applied to water treatment by 1910. The Hewitt lamps used a large amount of mercury. In the 1930s, improved lamps of the modern form, developed by the Osram-GEC company, General Electric company and others led to widespread use of mercury-vapor lamps for general lighting.

7. Wood's glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood's_glass

   Two "black-light" ultraviolet fluorescent tubes. The glass envelopes illustrate the dark blue color of Wood's glass, although these modern tubes actually use another optical filtering material. Wood's glass is an optical filter glass invented in 1903 by American physicist Robert Williams Wood (1868–1955), which allows ultraviolet and infrared ...
