Re: useing UV

I've had good luck getting UV reaction out of 470nm blue LED's. I installed them for my friends climbing wall in his garage, and all of the fluorescent holds glow as if they were under a black light. The neat thing about these LED's is that they are still solidly in the visible spectrum, so the blink reflex occurs. This wont be as significant as UV LED's, but should help.
