Help/advice needed for diy UV light for Amber searching

Bump! :slight_smile:

Any thoughts on my pro/con list for larger handheld vs bike-light? I’m still in doubt whether a bike-light with external power-pack would give any advantage over a handheld.

I ordered a p60 setup from customlites ( thread here ) - It’s for a gift -but I’ll use it myself until I get a setup of my own.

So the setup for myself will be either one NVSU233A
or a setup with three LED Engin LZ1




As for hosts for the two setups I’ve narrowed it down to either

Single led:
Uniquefire UF-1405 or Courui Big head or any other good host with lots of run-time. Haven’t been able to find single led hosts with 4x18650 or 4x26650

Tripple led:
DRY 3xCREE or FandyFire UV-S5

Any other suggestions would be much appreciated

I would loooove :heart_eyes: a host like the BTU Shocker but haven’t been able to find a bare host. I think buying a new one and then trash the led’s would be overkill.
Edit: Found a host kit!




I’ll wait and see the results of djozz’s tests before I make the final decision on a setup of one or three led’s.




Now I just need someone who can build it for me :wink:
