Do your UV lights have energy to reach the bottom of the swimming pools to charge glow products?
We are a manufacturer that produces glow artistic products. We service commercial builders and pool builders. I plan to possibly use your 395 or 365nm floods or strip LEDs to charge them up throughout the night hours. They will be on a timer that will turn them on and off at different intervals. My question is, do you think your UV lights have enough energy to reach down about 6 feet to the bottom of swimming pools to charge our glow products? Please see attach drawing that has attached for you to better understand the process.
Based on the diagram provided, we would likely recommend our IP65-rated 365nm realUV™ LED Flood Light product, as our realUV™ LED Strip Lights are unfortunately not suitable for installations where they might come in contact with water or condensation.
Though the realUV Flood Light is designed to output ultraviolet output for an area that is roughly 10x10 feet, we have not performed internal tests regarding how water depth can affect or scatter the UV output.
As such, it is difficult to say whether or not the ultraviolet wavelengths could successfully reach the glow oxides. In this instance, we might recommend trying them out and taking advantage of our 30-day return policy. If the products don’t work out, simply reach out and we will gladly provide you with a prepaid return label.
