I saw a UV web at boolights/blogspot and had to have one.
One cheap canvas and a roll of masking tape.
Three cans of florescent paint later.
Attach it to the house and add 4 UV tubes.
Wait for dark, and enjoy.
The camera has a hard time picking up the UV colors.
The tubes are just 6ft long T8 tubes with 7 100ma straw hats each.
I think it is way overkill on the UV.
KillAWatt reads only 11 watts
I used copper strip as power rails make assembly easier.
This is actually only a prototype for Christmas.
