I know Tron was designed to have a black light from the factory with reactive inks. What other games were produced with a stock black light?
 
BattleZone
Asteroids Deluxe upright
Omega Race upright and cockpit
Discs of Tron (not to be confused with regular Tron) LOL
Space Invaders (and Deluxe) uprights

I don't know about the other's, but Space Invaders uses what's called a "white" black light, as it looks like a normal white tube, but the light is black.

"This light is a 15 watt black light fluorescent tube with white glass. It is tubular shaped with a glass diameter of 1 inch, a G13 base and an overall length of 18 inches. It is rated at 7,500 life hours.

General Electric F15T8-BL

The BL Stands For Black Light

:D
 
There are several black and white games use blacklight backgrounds and a two way mirror in a similar manner that Space Invaders Deluxe does.
For example Boot Hill or Double Play baseball have plastic tubs in the back that are painted with black light sensitive paint.
