Heuers under UV light.. WOW

I've just got back from a wedding.. no, not Royal, but a good time was had by all.

The toilets (restrooms for our US cousins) has one of those super powerful downward hand dryers, with a blueish UV light (black light) built in. I was wearing my Orange Boy, and the orange accents on it lit up like a Christmas tree. I mean REALLY bright.
I know that the orange 'comes alive' in daylight, but this was something else, it was like those highly reflective strips you see on safety-ware, bicycle wear, etc. Anyone else noticed this??

Cheers
Stewart
