Ultraviolet (UV) light is sometimes known as black light. UV light is just beyond the blue end of the colour spectrum so appears 'invisible' to the eye. A UV torch or light produces UV light and when combined with UV responsive material or toys produces dramatic bright vivid colours which appear to glow.
See below for more safety considerations.
SAFETY
UV light isn't harmful in small doses, so moderation is the key to using UV lights safely. Whilst the permissible exposure limit for UV light is somewhat complicated to determine, the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology recommended half an hour or less. Protection is simple - cover up as skin is generally protected by lightweight clothing, and it is recommended that the eyes should be protected at all times. These precautions will allow you to enjoy the positive benefits achieved during UV light activities, but we would always advise you to seek professional advice regarding health and safety.
UV play can have the following benefits:
- Encourages concentration and focus
- Helps visual tracking and visual perception
- Calms and distracts from negative behaviour
- Develops motor skills and hand eye co-ordination
- Enhances comprehension of light and colour
- Encourages social skills and productive participation
- Fun and easy to play with

Our Story
When my son was born with autism, my world changed & Sensory Direct was born
Ethan had been prescribed different forms of medication, and although they helped a little, I didn’t want to become reliant upon them, so Ethan’s Paediatric Consultant suggested a Weighted Blanket. I remember hearing this and thinking ‘what on earth is a Weighted Blanket’? At this stage I was blissfully unaware of how life changing that Weighted Blanket would become.
