In other words, I would not expect to reach the same level of reaction as you do in a BL only test.Our durable and easy-maintenance carpets that are colourful and exciting are perfect for heavily trafficked areas and are well suited to bowling alleys, arcades, casinos, laser tag and similar entertainment venues. To get the same effect in a fully lit arcade I could only image how much lighting would be required. Its also worth mention that the flooring and the like looks out of this world with no other light. Now, If I am testing something, I make sure to leave on a source of white light. I, as have guest, been in the game room for hours at a time.
With all of my games on I have never had a problem. My thought is your pupil dilates due to the darkness, more of black light enters the eye, and its wave length causes some discomfort at that level. If you start to see a haze turn off the light! When I get in that mode I get a headache. Again, I put on a blinder to tone it down. At the end of the room I put in 2 fixtures (space opens up) which turned out to be a bit overpowering. I used a piece of black vinyl tape on the tube to make a blinder.problem solved. At the width of my room a game ends up somewhat close to the light so if the game does not have much of a overhang you get a line on the monitor. I should have had them farther from the wall, closer to the bulge. Overall mine came up well save that along the long leg of the room I centered the lights from wall to the bulge of the duct. The room is "L" shaped with bulk of the ducting running down the inner side of the long leg.
I have some ducting and the like that cause for an un-even "flow". I ended up punting and doing what I thought was best based on space and shape of my ceiling. I looked at pics and asked questions but never got a good answer. I was concerned with under lighting and loosing the effect to monitors and marquees. Just curious before we throw down a bunch of money on the carpeting and lighting.
#Blacklight arcade carpet portable
For people that have used black lighting what have you done to combat this? I realize we have white walls and concrete floor right now which isn't helping matters much but when you're running cabs light Outrunners (w/ 9 marquee blubs) and such is black lighting even worth the extra costs? Are you running lower wattage bulbs to counteract the problem? I've stuck a few portable black lights in the room just to test the effect but the only thing I really notice is a haze rather than the standard glow you see with no lights on at all. The problem I see coming up is this As we continue to fix marquee and various other lights on each of these cabinets the effectiveness of black lighting in the area seems to dissipate greatly.

Our plans have always been to lay down a black light carpet with several lights from one end to the other. As we've been slowly building up our arcade collection over the past few months and considering things for the renovation coming up in the spring I've been concerned about the feasibility of black lights in the finished area.
