UV Blacklight

    I'm looking to buy a UV Blacklight, i dropped into the Costume Shop just up from the apple market, they used to sell them, but not anymore. I tried the various pound shops and Dealz. I've discovered that you can also buy UV Bulbs for normal desktop lamps too.

    Does anyone know of any shops in the City Center or surrounding areas that sell these?

    Thanks.

    Did you get the Special Edition or the Collector's Edition of GTA V? :D

    Can't think of anywhere local that would definitely have them to be honest. Toner's is always a good place to try for random stuff though.

    Yeah GTA V is what i want it for, i could look up online whats said on the map, but want to see for myself.

    toners do them but they are a ripoff!
    Kavanaghs electrical in fron tof downs's should stock them :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,975 ✭✭✭nkay1985


    I thought of Kavanagh's but wasn't sure if they were still in business. I knew they'd moved but then had the fire and I never heard anymore after that!

    Hopefully you'll get sorted. It'd be nice to see it in person.

    UV Lights are used for nail bars / beauticians. So you might be able to pick up one from their suppliers. There is one in the business park out on the cork road before all the car garages, Sally's I think its called. Its a trade for hairdressers and those in that general industry.

    Fieldmaster on the Quay have handheld torches with blacklights on them like this one:

    You'll probably pay more than it's worth though.

    thanks for all the replies, really appreciate it.

    have a friend bringing in this in Friday (could only find a PDF image):

    He's not sure if it works as the plug is some sorta weird looking thing (his words). If not i'll be off to fieldmaster, for that 14.99 one.

    My friends blacklight was faulty, so i dropped down to Kavanagh's to get a replacement fuse, but saw that they were selling Portable UV Lamps for 12.95.

    Bought one, it also has a spotlight, and as well as batteries can take a 6vac supply.

    Tried it and works perfectly.
