1. ultraviolet light

   Ultraviolet light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that sits on the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and X-rays. This type of radiation has wavelengths ranging from about 400 nanometers (nm), which is at the border of the visible light range, down to about 10 nm, closer to the X-rays region. Its name comes from the Latin ultra, meaning "beyond", because ultraviolet light waves have frequencies slightly beyond those the human eye can perceive. Ultraviolet light can be harmful to both plants and animals, causing damage such as sunburn or skin cancer in humans.

   JTACs — they’re only going to use it for writing, so red lights are going to be best for them because they don’t want it to interfere with their night vision, but let’ssay the PJs,on the other hand — maybe they want one that has ultraviolet light so that blood is now visible, or maybe they want one with infrared so that they could signal to each other. So there are all these different options on the light spectrum that we can play on depending on the mission.
