Quoted from HighProtein:Spooky line-up!
Just inspired me to wonder what rails painted with glow in the dark paint would look like.
A Pinsider did that, coin door, lock bar and legs too but I can't remember who.

Quoted from wayout440:I saw this one online, looks like a UV sensitive powder coat of some kind.

Yeah that's the one, a Pinsider did that.
Quoted from Taxman:Many years ago I purchased a bunch of black light tubes and holders I was going to mount in my games room. I was warned by people that the increased UV would rapidly accelerate the color fading of the colors on the games. Just like the cabinet fade you find on the side of a game that was facing a window for years.
It was not worth the risk so I donated the lights to my friend for her bar.
I've had my bl in my gameroom for over a year now and I can't see any diff. I only have the bl on when I have people over. Don't worry about, the sun is just a wee bit more powerful then all the bl you need in a gameroom. 
Quoted from viper001:We put CFTBL out in our garage every year along with several other monster-themed games for Trick or Treat and I have noticed the green on the side of the cabinet reacts well to black lights.
That's funny cuz I have the cab art on my walls and they really don't do anything. These were taken with regular light.

Quoted from brenna98:As for Black Lights in general. I don't see any of this as an issue. How long to do really have your games on in a Home environment??
Exactly, my gameroom is bl and I don't see any problems.

Time to reintroduce your lit T molding, but add a Dimmer, and Im ready!!
Hey Art, the led strips are the non waterproof RGB kind so it comes with a remote control that has a lot of effects. The non waterproof strips are the only strip that will slide into the channel of the T molding. The channel in the wood of the bb where the barb of the T molding has to be widened for that T molding to go on so my games had to be permanently modified, I don't know if regular molding will go back on. The T molding doesn't light up solid and overpowering like that in real life so at all brightness settings you still see the individual led spots of light. I wish it did light up solid but it doesn't. Some guy came up with a way to light it solid but wouldn't tell how he did it and never came out with the product. I saw it on FB.
Quoted from Rum-Z:I dig the reef graphics on that carpet Paul. I haven't seen those graphics. Looks killer!!!
It's called Under the Sea. Google it. Only $19.99 sq yard. I have 3/8 inch Memory foam padding under it and it's perfect, it's antimicrobal and is a vapor barrier also. Just the right amount of cush too.
Quoted from Pinballerchef:Dunno bout floating 300# pins

Quoted from MrsHardy:Old thread, but just found it today. Can we get more pics going !? Here is half of my place, which is kinda blacklight centric. Would love to see more ideas/inspiration. Always looking for fluorescent/glow mods.
The best thing for your pins and bl carpet is to put a 20 inch bl florescent bulb on the underside of each game, they light the carpet under each game like the rest of the carpet. I did that on all 14 of my games.

Quoted from HighProtein:Anyone else have any groovy black light or uv pinball photos?
Only a couple bl black felt posters on the bb's of a row of games in my gr.
