Word for this evening: Actinic

ac.tin.ic [adj]:
(of light or lighting) able to cause photochemical reactions, as in photography, through having significant short wavelength or ultraviolet component.
- relating to or caused by such light: actinic degradation
Example: "As I reached for the back door key to head out for an evening run, an actinic lightning flash from the direction of the beach made me reconsider."

Bummer.  And I was so stoked to run.
