Hello BLF’ers I’m after a decent uv torch based on 18650 battery type, as ive never owned a decent UV torch I will be using it to see things floresce for fun, I don’t mind about IPX rating or runtimes, I’m just after a decent one with a bit of grunt

I thought countryman s9 or jaxman u1

Thanks

can be also modded with any other 3x7135 drivers from convoy with more modes

atm the best commercial produced light looking on UV mW per $, leaving all others far behind

I just got a Convoy S2+ with the Nichia LED from gearbest. It was 22.95 on flashsale. It is the
best and most powerful UV flashlight I have ever used. It puts out a LOT of UV so use eye protection.
Unlike a recent cheap chinese zoomie (sipik 68 clone) UV light I recently got it has almost no visible light and is excellent for florescent work. I recommend it highly!!!

Another vote for the Convoy S2+ UV365. Its Nichia NCSU276A 365nm emitter is the real UV deal. Got mine for $20.
