Hello Andrea,

I've bought a few small black light uv bulbs from walmart. Any "black light" will work, it's a good time of year to look as people use them for Halloween decorating. They make many things glow in the dark, (not just urine)

The cheapest I've found for UV adhesive curing is from Feit--it's a bulb that screws into a normal lamp socket and costs about $7. Amazon has it, and my local hardware store usually has a couple.
