Is the UV-A light from your LED strips invisible to the naked eye?

I am looking at purchasing your UVA LED Strips. Based on my understanding of UVA light, it should be invisible to the human eye, but we see it coming from the bulb due to a coating that is put on the bulb. Is the light coming from your strips invisible to the naked eye, or do you have a coating that makes it glow purple? I only want the lights for my boat to make my fluorescent fishing line glow. I don't want a purple glow coming from my boat that may scare the fish.

As our 365nm realUV™ LED Strip Lights emit light beyond the visible light spectrum, we can confirm that only a very faint amount of illumination is emitted from the product during operation. 

We can also confirm that we do not coat these products with any type of glass or material that would increase the purple visible output. 

Do you guys make a waterproof UV light? I would like to use the light in my boat.

Unfortunately, our LED strip light products are not waterproof, and I do apologize for any impact this might have on your purchase planning. 

While some of our customers have been able to locate insulated waterproof channels to install these lights on their boats, it might be helpful to know that polycarbonate materials often used in channel products are known to block the ultraviolet output, which would likely negate any benefit for your installation.

That being said, you might also be interested in our realUV™ LED Flood Light, which is IP65 rated for wet location use if a compatible power outlet was available aboard your vessel.
