(Batch #2 Available) Fluorescent Mineral Hunting Flashlight (High power 365nm UV)

Thanks for sharing that resource. I wasn’t aware of it. One I found that does have a wide variety of pictures of fluorescent mineral pictures is https://www.naturesrainbows.com/ IDK if you can filter by longwave or not, but most all of the pictures I’ve see say what wavelength of light was used.

Heck, if that’s boosting to 24V then that opens up some very interesting possibilities…!

All very welcome, I don’t do advanced mods or post much original stuff but I do enjoy adding to discussion when I can!

Once fluomin.org comes back, you could even search for minerals you’re interested in on the incredible mindat.org. Alternatively, use the locality search to see what’s around you.

DEEP DISCOUNT NOW! In order to get my product to rank for keywords on Amazon I am selling these lights below my cost (for a short while)!! If you have ever wanted a high power UV light I can assure you NOW is the time. I’m not exaggerating when I say this light has more than FOUR times the power of the Convoy C8 UV. There is not a better dollar per actual watt value anywhere!

US only?

Awesome deal! Just grabbed one using some points I had saved up, so it only cost me $21.01 total. :slight_smile: I’ll be sure to leave a great review. Thank you Matt!!

Thanks. Review and pictures etc are greatly appreciated. I can’t even tell you how much the support here at BLF means to me.

Lee (my assistant) and I worked all day packing orders, but we are finally caught up. There was more mail than she could pack in one trip, but she’s getting pretty good at stacking the tubs LOL.

Ordered one. Would definitely be interested in B and C options, possibly a combined light. Been looking at the Convoys as a cheap option.

I picked one up. It is very impressive, to say the least. It is far brighter than any of the other UV lights that I have. Around 8 at last count. Including the Convoy S21 UV and even one of those two D cell like 100 UV LEDs lights. It is simply no contest when it comes to light ouput levels and useable distance.

It is a monster alright. Throw is amazing for a UV light. I set it up for 5 levels and find it quite useful at the lowest level for finding pet stains in a relatively dark house. At the highest level it gives useful output to at least 35 meters across my yard.

The head is massive and quite heavy. I am not doubting over 8 minutes on high at full power, but I have not pushed it that far yet. This makes the light very front heavy, but I would expect that due to the robust heat sinking. I can deal with it though.

Definitely recommended for anyone looking for a high power UV light with real good throw!

Agreed, it’s way more powerful than any 365nm light I’ve used before. Still playing with it, the instructions to program it were a bit something, but the table on the back simplified things considerably.

The included mineral sample was a nice touch, other additional items in the box notwithstanding.
