Standard flash would ruin the black light effect. How can this not be baked? Couldn’t find references on a Google search. I’m not a photographer, so if this has been baked for ages, let me know and I will delete.

Black flash bulb. Wrong side of the spectrum, though. [jutta, Sep 08 2001]
This guy probably knows what to do by now.

Asking in Phillip Greenspun's photography forum: "Presently we use a large UV flash with our film cameras. [...] I don't want any visible light on the subject." (I deduce that there are professional grade UV flashes.) [jutta, Sep 08 2001]
Mentions a UV fill-in flash

Done with a traditional flash and a UV bandpass filter placed over the flash head. [jutta, Sep 08 2001]

Why would you want to photograph interiors lit by a black light using a flash? If you want to keep the cool lighting effects of clubs, just use a *really* expensive camera with sensitive film OR not so sensitive film but at a slower shutter speed. (right?) |
|

Anyway, some form of this would have to have been baked for forensic scientists, a scientist friend informs me. They use black lights all the time, apparently. |
|

Remember that in this scenario the interior is lit by black light only. I was supposing that slow shutter speed (the only way I know to capture an image in photography in low light) would not work if there was any motion in the field of view. Or rather, it would work, but any bodies in motion would be blurred. |

Nice to see someone else is up at this hour, too. |

...[stretching and yawning] it's 3pm on a sunny Saturday afternoon here. |

jutta: The photo at the other end of that link doesn't seem to show a flashbulb, but a light bulb, or rather a darkbulb I suppose. Optics isn't my specialty, but this seems to be something other than my suggestion. |

There exist UV LEDs, and LEDs can be flashed, so this shouldn't be too hard. Might need a lot of them to get a decent amount of light, but it'd be cool as anything to suddenly have everything white in the room GLARE at you... |

[snarfyguy], it's in a collection of flash bulbs, it's called a flash bulb in the text, the package that you see when you click on the photograph has "Photoflash" written on it, and the underground photographer who collects them even mentions their guide number. Work with me here... |

(However, it's not quite what you requested because it's an _infrared_ bulb, not the ultraviolet bulb you'd need. I couldn't find any sign of UV bulbs, although there is plenty of UV flashing going on otherwise.) |
