uvBeast V3 365nm MINI Black Light UV Flashlight

This is a very nice black light. I am a rock collector, a glassblower who works with UV and glow colors and glue that sets under the correct UV frequency. I also create art using resins that require UV light to harden and this light works great for all of these at a nice small portable size. It also works really well for charging blacklight things and for taking pictures of any of your UV reactive items. The nice thing about it is that it doesn't make the whole thing wash out in a purple color, it actually more just stimulates the UV or glow characteristics without the purple color change that other wave lengths do. This is a great purchase, trust a pro here

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.

When's the last time that your new flashlight came with an owner's manual? Did it have a wonky section that boasted about the design choices? Did it have an actual, coherent troubleshooting section? This one does. This flashlight deserves a great manual. After all, it's a great flashlight: solid machined body, USB-C charging port, and a narrow-band 365 nm pass filter. And the beam... this thing is dim... until you shine it on something fluorescent! Holy cow!. You realize how narrow the human visual spectrum is. There is a ton of UV emitting from this flashlight, but it's not visible. Turn on this beast; depending on what you seek, you may be thrilled or mortified. Walls and floors that look spotless light up with dust and stains. OTOH, lots of things light up in unexpected and delightful ways. Take a nighttime hike with this device; you'll see bright blue-glowing centipedes, yellow fluorescent mushrooms, scorpions (if they are indigenous). Limitations? Keep in mind that the beam is long-wave UV. It will still make some rocks in your fluorescent mineral collection light up, but it won't be the colors that you see in the museum short-wave fluorescent mineral case. For that, you need an SW unit, 10x what you pay for this flashlight, and not portable. Heat level? The UVBeast V3 mini gets pretty warm after a few minutes, but not hot. The lithium battery is replaceable if you exhaust its charge/discharge lifespan.

I think a lot of people believe there's doesn't work or stops working when really it's just a DOUBLE CLICK to turn on and one to click off. Very smart to prevent children from turning it in the damaging (permanently) their eye. My problem with it is they don't just just tell us the wattage of the lamp and the writing obfuscates it to the point that AI thinks it's 0.5W. that can't be right. Final beef is it's one of these products I'm seeing more and more of lately they are extremely picky about the voltage of their USB charger.. This thing wants about 5V and any more or less will not charge the battery. At least that's my experience. The positives: lasts longer than any of the 10 or so UV flashlights I have. In that regard and in the regard it emits the more powerful 365nm instead of the relatively weaker 395nm, it is also a beastly little medium sized torch.

This light is amazing. Battery lasts longer than expected, light weight easy to carry. Color of UV light is superior to the cheap lights you see.

I have found this UV flashlight to be the gold standard! I collect Victorian EAPG glass as well as vintage vaseline and uranium glass and a good, strong UV flashlight is my trusty sidekick in identification! Over the last year, my father's health began to fail and I spent most of my free time caring for him at his home until his passing in early November. I put the 'beast' away in a safe place, aka where I couldn't find it. Over Christmas, while looking for my grandkids christmas presents (which had suffered a similar fate), i found the Beast again and put it on charge. After twelve hours of charging, nothing happened. I tried for a longer time with the same result, went to the website and made sure that I had followed all of the troubleshooting steps and then wrote to the company asking for help. Seb, the Customer Service representative who corresponded with me, wrote me back within a day and gave me a couple of other suggestions to see if we could get it up and running, but to no avail. I wrote him back last night with the result and by this morning, in my inbox, he had written back telling me that they were expediting a new flashlight to me! I was floored. I have truthfully not encountered that level of customer service in what feels like forever, if ever! The kindness and non-judgmental advice added to my experience greatly. This is a company that stands firmly behind their exceptional products with exceptional customer service and I wouldn't hesitate for one second to recommend both the flashlight and the company to anyone looking for a similar device!

YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE CLICK THE BUTTON. For the first YEAR I just thought it was janky, it's not and seems pretty well built! It'll light up a scorpion from quite a distance!

I'm dissapointed in the length of time the battery actually lasted before it went bad and wont charge, I have similar products like my stream-light and the batteries lasted YEARS before I had to replace one, I mean so long I cant remember 10 years possibly longer. this battery didn't ,make much longer than a year, out side of that, the light worked pretty darn good, I used it it in hard to get places for leak detection for coolant and oil leaks with dye put in the system, could it be a little more powerful, perhaps, but in most all cases I could use it in fairly bright situations even several in broad daylight to see the dye glow well. I literally did not use the A/C powered one at all until this battery would not take charge, and it was like out of no where, it just would not light up at all, BUT Id have to say Id give it a solid 4 stars I was pleasantly surprised particularly for this items price range, sure better than dragging out the extension cord and pulling out a 6in diameter gun style huge UV light, you just do not run down to your local store to replace this battery either, so i still have not done that. debating replacing it with something different but haven't taken the time to see what else is comparable. but i ran into a situation where getting the job close to power is not possible. so I need to do something, wish it was easier to get a battery

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

Bright! Impressive!
