I'm working on setting up a blacklight set up in the garagecade but the ceiling is white and this is a rental place so I can't really paint it. Will the whole thing glow, will it absorb and do nothing, or what effect would it have? I was going to get some white CNC Space Invaders to put up but I'm not sure if it would work or not... thanks

I have black lights with white ceilings and have no issue. Depends on the paint. I used olympic flat ceiling paint.
 
Painted white shouldn't glow... unpainted drywall DOES glow (heh, once I got my blacklights up, that was an easy way to spot places I missed with the paint when I put in some new ceiling drywall :p ).

Your ceiling shouldn't glow. It will however make the room brighter while lit up with blacklight than it would be with a darker color ceiling. But it ins't that big of a deal.
 
Okay, thanks guys... would there be any chance that the white cnc Space Invaders might glow when put up on a dull painted textured white ceiling? Or be distinguishable at all? Just trying to decide which color of those to go for, haha
