UV flashlights - 3+ LEDs

Are there any quality UV lights that have 3 or preferably many more LEDs? Maybe like a FW3A UV edition? Or even better some type of soda can style UV light? Like a UV Emisir D18 UV would be perfect.

Mainly used in charge “glow” material in very close contact (Glow discs for disc golf), so the multiple UV LED head helps charge more “glow” material at a time.

Thanks!

Try this https://jlhawaii808.com/products/emisar-d4v2-8-x-mule-365nm-uv-led-flashlight or get it directly from Intl Outdoor. Or you can Build your own

Dang, 40W sold out…

since i am looking for a cheap (budget) UV light as well,
should i start a new thread, or continue on this one?

the one i have looks like this and cost ~$10.

it has worked well over the years, and i am asking if the technology
has changed enough to consider upgrading (?) to something better.

please let me know if it is appropriate for this thread.
thanks.

There’s a group buy on reddit for the Convoy S12 UV model that’s not usually available in the US. $54.

Here is the link to the light, but it won’t ship to the US because of some patent BS. The group buy on reddit is the best way to get one.

Turkeydance, the one you have is actually a 395nm flashlight, which is ok, but a bit more into the “visible” spectrum than the 365nm ones. Even those need a filter for the best UV light (generally ZWB2) because they still produce some visible light in addition to the UV.

Have a look here for more info

Or poke about the forums for posts by djozz. He’s done tons of reviews of UV lights

If it’s just being used to charge up some glowstoff, it shouldn’t make a difference.

Won’t a high power white light work just as well as a UV light? Problem is white light might wreck your dark adaptation. I feel like glow-in-the-dark stuff has a point where it can get “saturated” and more light won’t do anything, but I am not an expert.

Group buy is tempting, but for that price I think I’d give my money to Hank…then again maybe I’d get them both, because why not? :smiley:

jimF pointed out that JLHawaii does have the 5W available in a Noctigon host here

However Hank emailed me back in response to my out of stock query and said they do have it on intl-outdoor here (I just couldn’t find it apparently), so now I have a conundrum…or not…I bet everyone can guess what I’ll do :confused:
