Blinded by the light: ignoring useless regulation, NFT conf organizers use sterilizing UV lighting instead of blacklights. All my apes in ER. (thegoatery.dyndns.org)

would UV-C lighting be considerably more expensive? Would there have been obvious high-costs to tip them off that these were no regular black lights?

Not really. Fluorescent UVC lights are very similar to black lights, they just don't have the fluorescent coating inside the glass. LED lighting also shouldn't have been significantly more expensive.

Nah, they're like $20.
