UV LED Strip for Back-lighting Under the Canvas


I am interested in your company's UV LED light strip and think I need two of the 3ft ones (to start) and am wondering if these would work as backlighting under the canvas of a 3x6 ft painting with a frame depth of 1.5 inches. Do you think that would be enough space to give the effect of having the painting glow from within? 

Based on our review of the details provided, it might be helpful for your planning purposes to note that we have not performed any back-lighting or transmission testing for the realUV™ LED Strip Lights as of yet. In considering the installation, the primary consideration that comes to my mind would be that the ultraviolet effect may not be able to transmit through the canvas as well as any potential paints that have been applied upon the surface to be externally visible. 

That being said, you may find interest in the below irradiance pattern document for the product. For a 3x6” frame, the canvas should theoretically be able to receive a moderate-to-high amount of ultraviolet irradiance for the illumination effect. By reviewing the below pattern document, you will see that the effect is reduced the further the subject is from the light origin.
