Hi Dan,
If I'm understanding your question correctly, you can provide a little (UV)
light entertainment with:
• US Currency
• certain postage stamps
• Quinine/tonic water
• certain powdered laundry detergents
• "Highlighter" type marker markings (on paper)
All of the above have components that react visibly to UV light.
Have fun enlightening your visitors!
