What is the best UV fixture for "black light"

I'm doing a JH "black light" party next month and would actually like to offer these parties as a package option down the road. What is the best UV fixture out there that will fill up a a good portion of a gym? In your experiences, how many fixtures will I need? Thanks ahead of time for any advice.

Been ask many times and usually it results in a loud Elation UV Wash, you would need several for a gym. I've only used my 3 fixtures in a room about 1/4 the size of a gym. It was OK but could have used a little more in the back but I was aiming for the dance area mainly.

What about DMX fixtures?

There a many threads asking this very question on different boards, it always comes out the same, the Elation UV Wash!!! I own two and love them!

Okay cool, I'll look into them.

Thanks a lot.

check with Ben I was flipping through the catalogue yesterday and noticed a few dandies there

How many to fill your standard wedding sized dance floor? 2?

I have an elation UV wash....seems to cover quite a bit of area.....good fixture for the price. I would think a few would cover a lot of area, maybe what you need.

Good luck,
Jeff

Might be a good idea to post this over at Tyrone's Light Shack...:sqcool:

I think this is Tyron's light shack...isn't it? So is this elation an all on or all off type of fixture?

Joe is just waking up...... LOL

I'm going to concur on the Elation UV wash. If you need a price, let me know.

I'd be interested in what they would be. Also i have quite a few questions about lighting in general if you wouldn't mind helping, please pm me.

Glad to help. PM sent.

I use Altman 705's. One is enough to cover an entire gymnasium.

Using two and coming from opposite sides of the room will eliminate the "dark side of the moon" problem you would have with just one source.

Wildfire also makes the same type of fixtures and they are excellent.
