UV Blacklights for SmartWater Detection

Selection of UV-A blacklight equipment should be optimised for a particular application and depends on the following requirements:

  • UV light irradiation area
  • UV light intensity
  • Process integration
  • Ambient light levels

The case for UV

A wide range of UV blacklights for SmartWater detection on detainers in police custody suites during forensic searches and identifying lost property.

SmartWater is virtually invisible in normal lighting but glows vibrantly under UV blacklight. SmartWater is a specially formulated liquid with a unique molecular footprint which is used for security, engineering and brand protection applications.
