Popularly, UV light is what is referred to as “black light.” Technically, any light just outside our eyes' perception is called black light. So, near UV AND near IR (ultraviolet and infrared) light are considered black light. The “Black Light” you use for fun posters or to examine currency is a UV-A band light.
