What can I do with a UV flashlight?

I was perusing the convoy store and noticed one of the most sold s2+ is with a UV emitter. Why are these so popular and why do I need one?

My budget is 1 light order per fortnight and in the current fortnight ive ordered 4 so im holding back!

Collect millipedes and scorpions, detect urine and blood. Portable blacklight for parties. Some can detect counterfeit money.

Depending on where you live, selling scorpions can be somewhat profitable, if you’re into that sort of thing.

I personally have much more fun with battery powered laser light shows like this.

Use adhesives that require UV light to cure.

Eyesight can be damaged if used incorrectly.

Here is a list of a few things you can do with a UV light…

check green glass to see if it is the ultra-cool uranium glass

wiki U-glass

the tiny UV lights, are too dim to do anything in anything but total darkness

and even so they don;t really show much beyond 4-6 feet

depending on pattern and power

You can show your gf/wife urine stains on the bathroom walls walls after your gf/wife finish cleaning.

i can tell you are not happily married :slight_smile:

1, Everything white in your home “glows” when you shine a UV light on them. Lots of fun.

2, Check if your laptop / mouse / keyboard / screen…needs a good disinfectant wipe. You’ll be surprised how nasty they actually are (if you don’t wipe them every other day w/ alcohol wipes).

3, Install stuff, like tritium tubes, with UV glue.

UV light causes scorpions to glow nicely.

your teeth will glow blue/white

any implant or filling, or crown - will not

the white part of your eyes i think does

i doubt any light powered by a tiny battery, has enough uv energy to cause problems
i mean the sun;s UV is about 100000000 times stronger

you can also ‘quick charge’ any glow in the dark item

The sun also emits visible light so your pupils in your eyes contract to reduce the light getting in. Pure UV doesn’t have same effect so your pupils pen up to let more light in…ooops.

tiny batteries help with that

i stand by what i said

The real question is: Convoy S2 or S2+? Or Convoy S2 plus plus filter? :sunglasses:

And has lousy aim.

You can see the dried champagne splatters on your dinning room ceiling and walls

We use our UV S2+ with a ZWB2 lens to find puppy urine in carpeting. My youngest son (19) is into rocks these days and has take over the flashlight to illuminate a variety of them.

Always add the ZWB2 filter if you’re serious about this… :smiley:
