Features & Capabilities

Black Light is a fun and interactive Chrome extension that simulates the glowing effect of a real black light. Users can customize the deep purple tones to their preference, adjust the screen brightness to achieve the desired glow, and set a timer for how long the simulation remains active.

While it doesn't emit actual ultraviolet black light, the extension mimics the characteristic radiant purple hues, optimized to create a powerful visual effect in dark environments. It's perfect for entertainment, visual experiments, or just adding a cool ambiance to your screen.

User Reviews

Most reviews say the app is nonfunctional and not a real blacklight: it emits a purple light with no UV and depends on phone hardware. Users note that hardware limitations prevent true UV output, and that the app is cluttered with ads and lacks usable instructions. Several reviewers also call the listing misleading or false advertising. Overall, it fails to deliver a true blacklight experience and has usability issues.
Pros
Cons
  • Frequently does not function at all; users report it simply doesn't work.
  • Not a genuine blacklight; it emits only a purple/pink light and provides no UV.
  • Depends on phone hardware; without UV-capable hardware, the app cannot create a true UV/blacklight.
  • Excessive ads and lack of usable instructions make it frustrating to use.
  • Perceived false advertising about its capabilities.

Doesn't act as a black light, just shows a colorful bulb on the screen.
