UV Lighting?

Thought this one up this morning so I thought I'd give it a shot. :)

Anyhow, a lot of theme park rides have themed sets which have UV paint applied on its surface and this is illuminated by UV lighting. Correct me if I'm wrong here but I think its main purpose is to illuminate a specific object without lighting up the area around it, which is why white clothing becomes very fluorescent when a UV light is projected onto you!

How can this be done in Planet Coaster you ask? Simple. Make there be another version of the coloured area light, only it is not recolourable (faint purple only!) and when turned on, only scenery items and nothing else in its range are illuminated, possibly with a faint hint of purple. This would be a fantastic addition to the game because then while you're building dark rides, you won't have to worry about scenery being seen without lighting up too much of the room. :D

What do you guys think?
 
I have thought about this and I would very much like it. Of course UV paint actually comes in a lot of colours. Also I would love to be able to have things glow like King Ghoster, of course anything that is glow in the dark is also very UV reactive.

For instance in this picture of my front porch area last halloween the webs, ghosts and dress on the banshee are all white and glow with the faint purple. The skeletons, parts of the spider, bats are actually glow in the dark and glow like King Ghoster.

Having a few 'UV colours' that would react to a blacklight could be super fun.

... and because it is my pet issue being able to make stuff glow could help with the black water bug maybe not for water but certainly for spider webs, sheer curtains, etc.
