Ok in a packet of Cornflakes came a invisible ink spy type pen... with a blueish light on the other end to read the invisible ink.

Would a blue LED work, or is this using a UV light? Surely not the latter on a toy?

Just now tested my Cornflakes UV pen on my uranium-glass butter dish.

And yes, I can confirm it really does emit UV light.
