Basically black is an absence of color. Light is made up of colors... You can't have something made up of color to have no color...

Well, because there is no black color in the spectrum and also because our eyes see black when they don't detect light. But there can be made technically an illusion of a black lamp - the lamp must absorb the light and then our eyes will see a black glow around, but only if there is another lamp which creats light.

I think because black subjects don't give any colors ..
so our eyes will see it black. And that's why we can't see the black light ..

You get black when the wavelength is outside of the visual range (Red to Violet going through the spectrum) so any source of radiation you recieve will be seen as black I.E. long infra red radiation, you feel it but can't see it.
