[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 3058765, member: 51"]This is my first time doing using the black light for a amber test so bear with me. NOTE TO EVERYONE: DH works with optics and when he saw me using a UV light he reminded me, don't look at the light. He even made me wear sunglasses during the test. It is the field he works in so followed his advice. So for anyone doing a test like this, try not to look at the light. As for the photos, the item itself when I was photographing, did not really look like it was fluorescing, but in the photos it sort of does. What do you think?
