Review of some UV lights
[image][image]
Overview
This is a test of seven different UV lights (two are tested both with and without UV protection glasses). 17 sides of banknotes are tested with all UV light configurations (which are ten each including normal non-UV light).
The Contestants
The lights are "coded" with an abbreviation above and in all the tests below. They are as follows:
3in1 - This is a cheap 3xAAA light with 10 5mm white LEDs, 5 5mm UV LEDs and one red laser module.
Pen - Thi…
Both feature the Tank007 TK 566 365nm edition, which seems to be good, and uses 1xAA. You can get the light over at Manafont.

Or you could build/modify a low voltage drop in and use the 2xAA compatible Solarforce “L2r” (which isn’t the original L2r any more but works nonetheless).
If you want a cheap 17 mm driver for 2xAA, I have successfully used this (single mode, ~700 mA) :
