by GS

Product Description

Engineered for effectiveness and reliability to serve law enforcement, security personnel, professional inspectors and exterminators - with dozens of uses around home, too. Ultraviolet light causes many organic substances like pet stains or blood to fluoresce (glow) so they're easy to spot (you've probably seen a similar light used on TV shows like 'CSI'). High-efficiency LED extend battery life up to 10-times that of regular bulbs. Plus, they're shock-proof and have an estimated 100,000-hr service life. Water-proof positive-action switch (click on/click off) prevents light from coming on unintentionally and draining battery power. Professionally-preferred barrel-side switch is right where your thumb naturally rests. Dimensions: 5"L x 1-1/4"D, weight with 3 AAA batteries (not included) 4.5 oz. Includes removable wrist lanyard. Durable Gloss Black finish stands up to heavy use; grooved body provides comfortable non-slip grip.

I am now regretting purchase this UV flash light. The thing is, it works so well and revealed how terrible my carpet is. Now I am scared of walking on it barefoot!

The flash light is very hight quality with good workmanship. It fels so nice in my hand, the clicking power button is very hice. And bright. I wait until the evening and start shining the light on my carpet, and oh my god! It is amazing what your pets can do when you are not looking.

I am now looking for a professional carpet cleaner.

This light is super bright, small & compact, and appears to be of good quality. The box states the light wave is 380-385nm. The body is aluminum, the switch is rubber coated and has a positive click feel similar to a mag light. I purchased it to find urine spots in the carpet and it works great for that. I was even able to see prior spots I thought I had cleaned well.

5.0 out of 5 stars True UV spectrum, January 1, 2009

This dandy little flashlight is true spectrum UV. Others out there are just Purple LEDs: Florescent colors and white should glow if the diodes are correct. I actually use them to spot where to "touch up" paint. Thin areas of color especially with a heavy texture substrates, it is easy to instantly spot where more paint is needed. Assuming you are painting a dark color over white or light color. I have had these for a few months and as a contractor, I am pretty rough on some of my equipment. These have performed well, withstanding a second story drop without incident. Battery life is excellent as expected with led's.
