UV lamp, also called Black-light Lamp, device for producing electromagnetic radiations in the wavelengths between those of visible light and X-rays. The Sun's rays are rich in such radiation, sometimes referred to as black light because it is not visible to the unaided eye.

How do UV light bulbs work?

UV bulbs are usually fluorescent tubes with the normal white phoshor powders removed. Heaters at each end of the tube excite electrons to 'boil' off the wires. A high voltage is applied via an inductor or choke across the tube ends which sets up a flow of electrons through the tube called a plasma. This is the 'electric blue' of a miniature lightning bolt and emits UV light.
