I used to use a UV light and injectible UV dye to find very small leaks in air conditioning systems. It was very expensive then, but would find leaks nothing else would. I think they use similar methods for other fluid leaks. It can also identify a murder scene with luminol spray.

Interesting on the AC use.
The problem with the second one is that i have no murder scenes or luminol
Here's three photos I took in April 2015.
I took some more last year of a different scorpion, but didn't think of getting UV pics.

Being out of the game for a while what companies sell good lights these days?
The ones i know of are
Fasttech
Sofirn
Olight
Nitecore
Intl Outdoor
Where else should i be looking at lights (i’m avoiding Aliexpress and ebay).
Banggood is decent, though not as good as they used to be.
Gearbest is somewhat okay, but if you can find the same flashlight somewhere else, you probably should get it elsewhere.
I know you said you were avoiding AliExpress, but there are some excellent sellers like Sofirn's store and Convoy's store.
If you can find a deal on Canadian Amazon, that's pretty convenient.

you need the new Emisar DT8. everyone needs to try this light! it may look.. wierd. but it looks way better in person, and its performance is Wild! and you can get emitters from nichia e21a 2000k all the way to osram CULPM1 and "everything" in between.

Thanks, Amazon prices are not very good, ordering from China is much cheaper than buying from Amazon.
Interesting light but it eats my entire light budget.
Right now i am looking for a UV light and a Olight S2 replacement.
A 26650 light if more of my lights sell would be nice as well.
A nice UV option would be the Wurkkos WK30, it has a nice 365um emitter, a very nice 5000K white emitter (samsung LH351D) and a powerful red emitter all in 1 package so it satisfies the need for UV and red.
I recently reviewed it here, I wasn’t sure about it at first, but now I love it.Wurkkos WK30 "on the job" review

What an interesting light, and checks off several boxes.
Its near the top of my list now

I don't know anything about the Wurkkos FC11.
What's the ramping like?

A good question.
Also the Wurkkos has a 26650 battery for a few bucks more, anyone know if its a no name battery or a rewrap of a decent brand?

Do get a Sofirn C01S. The tiny twistky is an interesting contrast to the giantic Astrolux MF04S with a long extension tube for 4+4 18650 cells.
As for a UV light, I would suggest getting Wurkkos WK30, which is on sale now on Sofirn Official Store in Ali Express for just about US$24.
Happy flashlight shopping!

The WK30 is what i plan on getting, just waiting to see if it goes on sale for July 4th.

Hi RC…
Did you use UV emitter or utilising a black UV lens?

A Acebeam k75 or thrunite tn40s or even a Mateminco mt70plus would be great. Where can I find a Maxbeam.

Yes they would but are way out of my price range.
I used a UV emitter.
More specifically, I used Manafont's popular P60 UV drop in.
It was very popular many years ago--I don't know about now.
