Nothing to do with audio. Blacklight coverage.

Here is a good one for Gadget (master of all trades) and anyone else with incite.
Got a special request for an upcoming annual weekend convention event. They would like to convert one of the two dances to a "rave", so they want be to quote adding the neccessary blacklighting. Bottom line... functional for 250-400 HS agers. Room will likely be 80 x 40 x 16. The room could be doubled but the coverage / wash area would be remain about 1800 sqr ft.
I am probably limited to a max of 8-10' elavation. I'll either go with 24" or 48" fl. tubes. Stands (probably 4) will be limited to the perimeter of the dance floor.
Will fixture with back reflectors make the a difference? (does UV reflect?) If so, would lining with alum. foil be even better. Trying to get by on the cheap. Even if the fixtures / bulbs never see any use again.
Is there a rule of thumb for fluo. watts per sqr ft @ a given distance??? Or feet of tube per sqr ft.....?
Again, only need enough UV to light up accessories, clothes, etc... for a 2 hr high school "rave". This IS NOT an investment on my part.

There are different grades of black lights...why not see if you can rent some form a production house? The good high output one are VERY expensive. I have a band that has everything including kit painted with fluorescent paint. They also have hangings and things and a bunch of (non tube) high output black lights VERY COOL!
That would be my suggestion...
but a bunch of high schooler's in the dark
