V3 365nm MINI Black Light UV Flashlight

When I first received my light I had issues with the charging circuit. I contacted the company and Seb from UVBeast quickly resolved the issue. It is rare these days to see a company stand behind their product. I will definitely buy from them again. Now onto the light itself. I have never owned a stand alone UV light, I have only had lights with UV as a secondary function. Wow what a difference. It illuminates items from across the room. Looking at things like money, drivers license, and passport, I was able to security features I've never seen before. Also you can easily find stains in the kitchen, bathroom, and on carpets even from a distance that are invisible to the naked eye. I haven't tried using it for Scorpion or rock hunting, but with the distance this light has, I think it would do well for that as well.

I needed a UV flashlight for my vacation home in the desert, to be aware of scorpions. This light does not disappoint! After researching, I learned that it’s at the perfect wavelength for making little critters fluoresce. The light is bright. It has a solid, weighty feel in the hand. Best part is that it’s rechargeable by USB-C.

Note - the photo submitted is not for its "beauty" but to illustrate a point. This light does put out true UV, and a goodly quantity. The picture submitted is of a pink rose bloom at a distance of 12 inches (measured). This was shot in a darkened room. I used a Pentax KF full spectrum (Kolarivision modified) using Pentax 100mm ED AW macro. ICE UV filter. ISO 12800, 1/200 at F3.5 and -0.7ev. The K3 is very bright, and the light was un-difused so the hotspots on the (very) reflective rose necessitated -0.7. I used an 18% grey card to white balance, producing a nice grey image. I did some grain reduction in Topaz Photo AI. OK all the tech stuff is over. What I like: the flash is rugged. It has a good heft a weight. I used a light stand and clamp to hold it. This is not a cheap plastic barrel, which I appreciate. My intended use is photography both indoors and outdoors. Indoors for some fun ultra close work; outdoors as "fill". The button on the barrel has a nice solid "click". It came with an extra extension tube - for a second battery? The output was reasonably even, but I may use a diffuser in the future to avoid harsh shadows. I had it on for about an hour adjusting light, etc. No problem with battery life. The unit did NOT get hot in use. That bodes well for longevity. Frankly, I would like this company to make some photo oriented light boxes - something square, maybe 4 to 6 inches on a side for macro work. They really have a great product and I appreciate quality. Oh, and it really is UV. My other cameras did not pick up a usable image. Only the full spectrum camera, and it definitely was UV.

Let me start off by saying, if this is the only flashlight you need, it's pretty darn good. I'm hyper critical of all flashights. It's UV is quite bright. The battery is a pretty hefty 26650 that will give you plenty of run time. If you use an external charger, you'll notice the threads are pretty sharp and jagged. I personally feel like I wasted my money, but that's because I have an Olight Arkfield Pro (~$200?). However, for $40 this flashlight is on par with the Olight, so I'm not complaining. I just expected/hoped for an even brighter (higher output) UV diode. I suspect they're using the same UV LED in this as the Olight, which is very likely the highest output available. Unless you want a green laser and white/natural LED included with a UV light, you really don't need the Olight... Get this, save your money it won't disappoint you. The only meaningful issue/concern I have is the construction quality. It's made of some pretty brittle thin aluminum and the button is kinda goofy (requires a double press to turn on "safety feature"). I would've preferred a heavier duty aluminum, steel, or brass, but this thing is made sturdy enough for 99% of the people who will buy it.

Great UV flashlight. Long lasting battery and super powerful LEDs.

Works great and a nice handy size to carry. Feels well made and of good quality. Found lots of calcite glows orange and a cool little bug that glowed blue in the Nevada desert. Want to know if your house is really clean? Brace yourself before looking around with this little light. If you use it in a hotel you may go out and sleep in your car.

From the moment I picked it up, I was amazed by the built quality. The flashlight is very powerful and can easily be used in a bright environment. The installed UV filter makes all the difference as it blocks out any visible light emissions. Perfect for the price.

Works as intended to find rocks that reflect and other stains and dirt

Buena luz, el precio es elevado sin embargo es un producto de Calidad.

كشاف قوي ومتين وجوده عاليه وهذا واضح جدا اشكركم على المنتج المتميز

La verdad es, que nada más tenerla en la mano se nota la calidad de la linterna. Alumbra bastante bien y lleva una pinza en el cuerpo que es fácilmente desmontable. Lleva también un landyard que también es desmontable sin problemas. La única pega que le pongo es que el cargador viene con la toma americana y yo estoy en Europa. Por lo que o compras un adaptador o pones una toma de aquí en el cable USB. Me ha parecido buena compra y estoy bastante contento con esta linterna.

Very good quality ,first the price much higher than most of the same type , I decided to got this ,and very happy now Work well and good blue light very concentrated And you should get the eyeglass for protection it quite strong and I could ruin your eyes
