Looking for a UV light (365nm?)

They're sold out of the single AA one - they weren't the last time I looked. The cheapest one I can see there is a 3AAA device which works OK.

Or you could buy a pack of 50 UV LEDs for $3 and stick them in a Fauxton which you probably have several of already.

5mm UV LED Emitters (20-Pack)

thanks for the links.

I ended up getting a UV 'fauxton' from kaidomain for a couple of dollars. I hope it arrives, kaidomain hasn't been getting a good reputation lately. The paypal receipt from them doesn't actually state what I bought from them...

Not sure if it's of any intrest, but I noticed a UV P60 dropin on the Manafont "New Products" list today "380nm"

The UV keychains from bestinone have finally arrived and I've been playing with them for the past hour or so.

They're really cool, but are very weak (obviously), and I don't think any of them is a true 365nm - they came unmarked, so I had to guess. One is definitely weaker than the others, but I'm having trouble to differentiate the remaining two.

I can't take any photos because my camera won't allow me to photo anything useful, but I can tell that on a 50 euro bill (and on 10 euro, and 100 nowegian krones) I can see only the luminescent hairs. On the other hand, 200 and 1000 norwegian krones show another image, and below I show what I could catch with the 1000 krones.

Israeli bills don't show any sign of having UV marks. My mastercards show M and C.

My sofa shows signs of my cat's urine.

UV light is fun! :)

Here are some photos of the 1000 kroner bill. A nice broomstick show up where none were visible, and a few hairs are seen as well.

The "390nm" seems a bit stronger than the "365nm" but show marginally better performance (although it doesn't really show in the picture).

You be the judge:

So I guess now I'll have to order the TK-566 365nm (1W, Nichia LED) and the 380nm drop-in (3W, Taiwan LED) from Manafont.

Right? :)

I receive the UV emitter from KD , is in the 'fake' C78 now... the US dollars do not have any mark, my currency have even in olds 80's bills...

The star is printed 'lumileds'...

Sorry i have no Euros here to check , if some member want to send a few I promise a high resolution pìc

The early incandescent Streamlight 3C-UV lights had 3 x 365nm + 3 x 390nm 5mm LEDs giving you a greater flexibility, a used one of these would be more than ample...

OR

You could install

in an inexpensive 9-LED host light.
