Looks like the same blacklight I have, but it doesn't really do much for "lighting".
It just makes the responsive stuff glow.

Do something custom for your arcade sign.
You asked what we were actually doing for lighting but if I build another gameroom, my plan is for indirect colored lighting running in a trough around the perimeter walls about 1 ft down from the ceiling. It might just be a rope light or LED ribbon tossed in a trough. It might not be a trough, but just a board with the light shining out both above and below. Dunno yet. Gotta experiment and see what gets the look I want. In addition to that, there would be clear ceiling lights for when stuff needs worked on.
EDIT: The idea is to wash the walls with light and not have any type of bulb directly visible, especially not as a reflection in a monitor bezel
