Hey guys,
I just bought a Blacklight bulb to plug into a lamp or something similar for black lighting queens. My problem is I’d like it on our farm which doesn’t have power. Is there any cheap way to rig something up to be able to blacklight in our field? Being that would be the best spot.
In Jesus,
Jonny

Purchase a generator, which isn't too cheap, or use a blacklight that relies on disposable batteries, or buy an electric cord long enough to extend from an outlet to the target site.
