Product Description
Engineered for effectiveness and reliability to serve law enforcement, security personnel, exterminators and professional inspectors - dozens of uses around home, too. Ultraviolet light causes many organic compounds like pet stains to fluoresce (glow) so they're easy to spot and eliminate. High-efficiency LED extend battery life up to 10-times that of regular bulbs. Plus, they're much more durable with 100,000-hour service life. Positive-action (click on/click off) prevents light from coming on unintentionally and draining battery power. Professionally-preferred barrel end-cap switch is weather-resistant. Dimensions: 4-1/2"L x 1-1/4"D, weight with 3 AAA batteries (not included) 5 oz. Includes removable wrist lanyard. Matte Black finish stands up to heavy use; non-slip knurled barrel.

 good value for money March 11, 2010
B. S. Buntsma (the netherlands, europe)
bought this item some weeks ago. solid quality, easy to use and compact.
shows stains and dirt in bathrooms, kitchens, etc. some shade/darkness while checking is recommended, though. just as apt as more expensive ones. good value for money.
Great, fun little toy and very useable! February 10, 2010

Note: Four out of five for minor issues, see below.
I've been wanting something like this for quite a while now. I'm a science minded individual and fell in love with blacklight when I was little. The only problem with the kind of blacklight I grew up with is that if you wanted portability, you had to use a long extension cord - not great for field use. This little bugger fits in a pocket with ease (similar in size to a longish D battery), is made of rugged aluminum, has a nice (although somewhat flakey on mine) Maglite-like pressure switch in the butt end, and is actually surprisingly intense. Even has a nice lanyard for if you need to hold onto it extra carefully or hang it from whatever. The real show starts tonight, but so far I've had great results with it on longwave UV fluorescing materials like grease splatter, tooth plaque, tighty whitey underwear, etc. You should see this thing set off modern strontium aluminate glow powder, OMG... BRIGHT green glow in daylight! I love this thing already, but I will point out a couple of things not so great about it for you:
1) It gets warm pretty fast. This is my first experience with UV LEDs, so I don't know how normal this is, but see #2 for why I'm not so comfy with the fast warming.
2) There is NO driver circuit, near as I can tell. The circuit amounts to a bunch of LEDs driven directly by three AAA batteries. Now I know LEDs are not laser diodes and as such don't need to be babied nearly so carefully, but still... No driver circuit + quick to get warm, and I wonder how long it will last. Also, minor issue, AAA batteries aren't great for mAH ratings - with this amount of heat being generated, current consumption must be fairly substantial... Yeah ok I read almost 90mA on my BK Precision 2405A DMM on the 10A setting. Not terrible, BUT, don't expect a lot of runtime. I haven't tried it with NiMH AAAs yet, but I don't expect it to be as high performance. Still, for one, this is the price of such fantastic portability, and for two, NiMH may work reasonably well. Just don't run it for extended periods and bear in mind it's a battery muncher, and it should serve you well.
3) That switch on mine... it's flakey. Sometimes it needs a gentle nudge to work even when it's clicked into the on position. Not a big deal, I've dealt with worse and it's only going to be used now and then so whatever.
General consensus? Big fun in a little package! I can tell I'm going to LOVE this thing. I can't wait to get it out around some road gravel in the dark, to see if I can find some fluorescent geology. It's a pity I didn't have this when I lived in the hills of TN, and had acres upon acres of wild land pocked with bare rock outcroppings to wander around in. I also can't wait to examine my walls and floors tonight after dark, to see what disgusting stains and splatters I will find in my home. Plus, I work in a kitchen, and it should be interesting to see what I find there as well. I'm definitely not disappointed in my purchase, this is going to keep my interest for a long time. :-)

Love the flashlight - sturdy and well made. I bought it to see pet urine and boy does it work! Now I need to get my carpet cleaned!

This product is and does just what it says it is and does, not much else needs to be said.
I'm perfectly safisfied with it, I work with gemstones and antique glass and this UV inspection light is the best light I've ever used. It is a true UV 'black' light not just a blue tinted light - which are useful; but, not nearly as good as a real UV 'black' light. I have other UV lights; but, most of them are rather delicate - I don't carry them around. This flashlight is nice and rugged, I've no problem just sticking it in my pocket as I head out the door, no worries. It's got to the point where I carry it almost all the time, comes in real handy.
A must have if you have carpet and pets! September 2, 2009

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.
