Lol, this is funny - your ridiculous. I think I deserve 10 points because I gave you a table and curtains. As for the Black lights looking purple...I have know idea. Black light sounds way better than purple light.

It's called a black light because very little of the light it emits is visible to the human eye. It is almost in the ultraviolet range. (which is why it looks purple)

Because of the light power

Because "black light" is impossible for us to see. And the purple hue we see is the color we pick up from it.
