There's an area of my basement I would like to put some of that cool black light carpet down in but I have no idea where to buy this stuff. I cold called a few local places and tried doing a search but didn't really find anything good. You guys know of a good place? If so it would be awesome Thanks man

I believe he is talking about the carpet that has certain colors or patterns that show up when blacklights are put on. Think of a white shirt with a blacklight on.

 

 

Sorry man I have no idea where to find it.

This place is all I could find. It's pretty much what I'm looking for.

They use to only sell area rugs to my knowledge but it looks like they have a price for sq ft now so maybe I'll have to give them a call

You should get the babydoll one.

Oh that. A lot of bowling alleys have that now for when they do 'Cosmic Bowling'. You should go to a bowling alley that has that and ask them where they bought theirs locally, instead of having it shipped to you.

That is a sweet idea man, shipping is what I was worried about. It can't be cheap to ship a roll of carpet. Thanks man

Well if you're going to get black light carpet you're going to need black lights I hear that using white black lights were better because they gave off more light. Here's a place to buy fixtures and what not. https://ssl.adhost.com/noveltylights/mercha...d=46&step=4

I have a huge archive of web pages that I have been collection for over a year now I haven't used any of those places but there are a few suppliers and some more choices in carpet designs for you.

You are right about that!

I've got a couple of the cheap ones laying around and when they do decide to work they always flicker horribly....I'm learning you get what you pay for in the blacklight world

You can buy regular flourescent light fixtures for about $8 at Home Depot. Home Depot also sells GE or Philips full size black light tubes. Forget those ones Spencer Gifts sells.
