    Difference between 365nm and 375nm UV lights?

    I got from Ebay 365nm UV LED's and made powerful torch out of 14 of them. They do produce UV but also somewhat white fluorescence. When compared with blacklight tube 365nm seems more like white LED because there is so little fluorescence. I mean range of it, phosphors and cellulose do glow...

    Which part of spectrum activates glow in the dark?

    365nm produce cleanest fluorescence since it contains little violet light but still LED's may emmit white fluorescence. I tested them with blacklight tube and was dissapointed to see low fluorescence range, only cellulose and phosphors glow brightly. Club lights use cheap 405nm.
