Thanks for the correction DC! It's an important point.

We're talking about UV dyes. They are most often used for leak detection.

Dye-lite is a brand name of such a product. It is available in green for a water based application, and in yellow for oil based. It is also available under the name Fluoro-lite, for refrigerant leak detection (i.e. your car's air conditioner).

Here's where it comes from:

Blue: WD-801
Green: WD-802

Check this for a lamp:
