[STOPPED] Astrolux S43 UV-C groupbuy

Probably a quartz glass lens, I don’t think they would be able to avoid the floodyness of it though

I’m certainly not your typical germophobic. My motto in life is even: may the best germ win.

What I’m interested in is to know what materials can be tracked with these kind of UV lights.

As am working in aviation with shit load of sick folks running around i'd need this light to sterilize my tools and stuff i have

Don’t forget to wear proper safety gear

finally some UV-C :smiley:
I hope it’s powerful enough.
At least like those 20W UV-C lamps from Aliexpress

20W is what it pulls those produce maybe 50 - 100mw of unfiltered uvc, so if these are filtered hopefully by led, it will most likely perform better even if only 20mw

Top tier LEDs can get 45-50mW out of 4W electrical power, so 4 of those may get 150mW OTF

But I doubt they will put such expensive LEDs in it

I think I’ll have to consider my collection complete for the time being. What would be good is a Chinese seller that is based on Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) rather than USD, the fluctuations seem to be much less.

Yeah that’d be nice, plus not having to pay GST :rage:

Would this be good for making things flouresce also?

Yes

My main interest lies in the ability to detect onter minerals, not in gettinghand cancer.
Signed up though my order will depend on price and specifications.

What are the specs of the LED?

I’m interested in the emission spectra, bare LED as well as OTF.

I think they will be putting some cheap 395nm chinese leds and some glass to filter out everything above 280nm or whatever is the UVC limit,
because the $30-50 price sounds too good to be true…

That would be way to inneficient, not to mention the cost of a filter like that

On the other forum, Acebeam has annouced a UVC 3535 275nm X80.
As they call it: “protect you from virus!!”. LINK
I could not find it on their website (yet).

With an almost unreadable warning like “wear protective glasses”.
That’s almost like selling guillotines to challenged people, saying it’s a cure for headache.

The owner use glasses
the others not-

My personal opinion is
that this flashlight is a dangerous and unvisible weapon

keep it out of the reach of childreen
and stupid peoples.

When you have childs
it would be better to put the light in a safe
or didnt buy it !

i see the dilemma...

in times where people eat tide pods to challenge strangers how to protect them from dangerous things?

but still give sane people the possibility to buy knife and forks, screwdrivers and other tools?


i told banggood to have a lot of warnings (no toy / keep away from kids etc) on the page and product
other suggestions?

M4D M4X, thank you for your reaction. First: I’m still as interested in it as before.

This type of light needs more than just (special!!) protective glasses.
When working with this light, you need to protect your whole body. Gloves etc.

I think this is a useful LINK.

thanks!
