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!
