i had a "black" blacklight in my sea raider, but wanted to try a " white" blacklight, see if it looked better. i have a white light in my coney island gun game, so i popped it out and tried it in the sea raider. didnt like it one bit. with the brighter light it looks kinda fake, like a stage. the ships look mechanical and phony. with the dark light, it looks like a nite scene, and much more realistic. the torpedo stands out more, and WW II subs tended to operate at night anyway. the explosions look cooler too. if you dont have a dark bulb, give it a go.
