Hi Glen,
I think the light he is talking about is commonly referred to as a "Black Light". It is similar to a standard fluorescent light fixture (long tubes). There are two different main types of "this type" of Ultra Violet UV light. The main difference is that one has a white bulb, that emits visible light, the other has a black colored coating that filters out the visible light, and only lets through the invisible Ultra Violet light. I use a "Black Light" in my office to charge up glow in the dark items. For all glow in the dark LUMINOUS items, UV Ultra Violet light is required to provide a charge so that they will glow. The more UV light, the faster and better charge.
Personally, I think a visible type of light is necessary, but I could be wrong.
Jon
