Damn it, really sorry about that.
I have 3 different keyboard languages and occasionally it auto-“corrects” to something weird for some reason. I have to keep an eye on that.
It always starts in the first mode of the group. That’s often moonlight, but not always. I primarily use mode group 6 in my Convoy lights so they start on the highest mode.
We don’t have laws against UV lights, in any power or wavelength. What we have that you probably heard something about is one man with a patent of dubious value which is supposed to prevent UV flashlights from being sold here with a filter lens installed. It’s just fine to sell/import them without a filter lens. That said, the onus is on the patent holder to “aggressively protect” their claim, and this guy has brought a number of lawsuits over the past years and issued lots of cease-and-desist letters. He certainly hasn’t covered all of the bases, as a quick look on Amazon will show. Simon has been one of the few to honor this patent (and I think also works with the man for light sales in some capacity/amount). Banggood won’t show UV lights with filtered lenses to US site visitors, and if you manage to land on a product page another way, they still won’t ship to a US address. On Aliexpress some vendors are following Simon’s example but many others are not. You can still order lights and filter lenses separately and even have them shipped in the same box together.
All that said, it’s possible that State or Municipal laws could pass laws about UV lights or anything else if they wanted to. I’ve not heard about any laws regarding UV or IR or any other targeted wavelength, but of course many places put laws into place regarding laser devices. But there is nothing federal for UV, etc. Just one guy’s patent that is up to him to pursue/enforce. (It’s not a very useful or inventive patent at all, more of an idea/application type, and he had done nothing with it at all for years (even let it lapse briefly) and then he started to notice when UV portable lights had nice filtered flashlight options with LEDs instead of bulky fluorescent models that were too expensive for most people….he’s not a “patent troll” like many toss around, but the whole thing is rather dumb and irritating from the root of his claims/award. He’s not innovating or manufacturing with it really, and it has mostly served to stifle the consumer marketplace options to a degree.)
