Joystick Controllable UV Light for Escape Rooms

FrightProps showcases a joystick-controlled, aimable UV light designed specifically for escape room environments. Players manipulate a joystick to pan the UV light across surfaces and reveal hidden clues invisible under normal lighting. Two versions are available: a simpler unit that activates on power-up, and a full prop version that requires a trigger mechanism before players can interact with it.
