Cheap but effective Jumping Jack mod in the black light room:

UV-reactive tape from Hobby Lobby, $13 for a big roll.

The black light fixture is this one:

I bought it to light up some custom artwork on one wall, but it fills the whole room.

I'll post pics of the wall art when it's done. These are no cheesy black light posters; I found some amazing art at a tattoo place in Wilmington SC. Then I made a pretty cool high score board with glass and fluorescent paint pens. I hope to get it all up before league night this Saturday.

Quoted from QuarterGrabber:

I tried black light mods. The only problem is just like in your picture, it only works if the game is turned off. Once you turn the game/games on the brightness of the LED's eliminates the blacklight effect. I wish there was a way around that.

The GI in Jumping Jack isn't bright enough to wash out the black light effect. Also, the ADJ UV light is really bright, so any flourescent color really lights up. It looks like EL ribbon even with the game's lights on.

Quoted from blondetall:

I've already got UV paint ready to make some Pred blood splatters on the walls.

I wish my wife said things like this.
