    UV penlight

    UV LEDs are not very efficient... So, they need a fair amount of current (power) to generate sufficient UV to see any florescences in normal room light. The light that Sambob recommended--I purchased a few of them because they are so bright and just neat to have if you want to check money/how...

    Better UV Flashlight - MT1U or S2+ ?

    My suggestion is to see if there is a Woods Glass (UV pass filter; available for the Convoy S2+) for the Nitecore MT1U. Many UV fluorescent "organic" materials have a relatively faint visible light glow. Unless you are going to wear "blue blocking" glasses, I would suggest that you get the...

    Bad maratac?

    I have found that on my AAA Martac's, as the battery gets low, the M/L/H becomes pretty much M/M/M (very little to no difference between the settings). -Bill

    Two new computer Li Ion batteries available for free...

    Hi Folks, I have a couple of Li Ion computer batteries that are "near new"... The first one was only cycled a couple times before the laptop failed. The second was run for a few minutes before further debugging showed the laptop was not worth resurrecting. I did not want to return the batteries...

    UV light

    The "this UV light" above link is a bit confused... The Amazon page mixes 1x AA and 1x 18650 Li Ion battery and other typos (1* Sansung 2600mAh rechargeable 18650 battery) in different places. The overall specifications (3 Watt input power and such)--The above link is most likely for the 18650...

    UV light

    Convoy S2 UV 365 nm is very good light... Uses 18650 protected or unprotected batteries. Highly suggest you get the UV filter option (Woods Glass/Filter). There is a fair amount of pale blue light and when trying to find "organics", it can make a bit difficult to see the subtle glow. However...

    High CRI 1AA light

    The Countycomm Martac AA and AAA lights all of a light spring in the bottom of the tube. They are not "battery crushers". The "switch" is the tube collar screwing into the head, where there is a circuit board and "ring" of copper where the body's collar touches the ring. To change levels...

    Need a new scorpion hunting light

    I have several Convoy S2+ UV and I got the Woods Glass filter for ~$4.00 Search "aliexpress convoy zwb2 filter 365 nv" and look for the filter (presently at bottom of page). The filter blocks 100% of the visible light from the UV LED (that I can see). -Bill
