Looking for blacklight nightlight bulbs

For a Furman Rack Rider. I have a Trace Elliot preamp that needs some UV illumination! Anyone know where to find some?

I looked too, and came up blank. They are C7, if that helps.
I was wondering if one could DIY by using a paint/dye/marker/theater gel, or something...

I looked and couldn't find anything as well. I ended up getting two UV cold cathode lights that the PC gamer guys use. I built a housing to mount them to a ventilated rack spacer. Then went to Radio Shack and just bought a cheap 12v power supply that gave enough amperage to run them. Works like a charm.

Another possible option. Find some UV filters (gels) that are used on stage lighting or military type flashlights. They will be flat but maybe with a blow dryer you could heat them enough to bend them to fit your pull outs. Eh, it's an idea.

i don't know how well a UV light bulb will work, I have a few and they're more of just a purple light then uv they're also normal, 60w bulbs, I don't know of any that would fit into a rack like that
that Trace green does look awesome with a blacklight though!

Vindy, Trace heads were designed to almost "glow" under a UV light. That's one of the reasons Trace used the green that they did.

Nor sure if this helps, but I once picked up 110v 'black light' bulbs at a party store for halloween.
EDIT: Forget it, the base is to big.
