Wow, expected cheap, and got better... for cat piddle
I shopped hard for a blacklight because I believe it will be something rarely used, but when it is used, I wanted it be be working well. So good and inexpensive were my hot buttons. It's not for decor, it's to look for kitty pee on the carpets. One of our cats was ill recently and I wanted to be sure we got everything cleaned up. If you do want it for decorating purposes, it throws quite a light.
The blacklight arrived very well packaged and with no damages. In 5 minutes I had it set up, doused the lights, and looked. This baby uncovers a whole 'nother world. The cat accidents were readily apparent... as were some other odd spots. I need to go look up what blacklights reveal because some of what I saw wasn't cat product- for example, there was a fine spread-out glow on the floor under where one of our family members often eats snacks!
But for stalking kitty pee, this was wonderful. I had slips of paper in my hand and laid them across the spots to mark them, then turned the regular lights back on to work on them with paper towels and Woolite carpet spray for pets. Went back and forth this way a few times until everything came up clean. The light's now in the basement, ready for -heaven forbid- the next time it's needed.
