uvBeast V3 365nm MINI

This UV light is awesome! I love using this light when I'm searching for leaks on my cars or when I'm doing UV inspections on welds. It works extremely well, and really cuts out all the purple color from non filtered UV lights while still keeping a relatively good brightness and keeping the fluorescence nice and bright. It is super easy to use and very compact. It isn't too heavy at all which is great as well. The charge time does take a little while but the battery lasts a long time, and I have yet to have any issues with any heat for this light at all.

Best UV lamp I've had. I use if for Uranium glass and samples. I also use it for many other stuff since it's cool. Very well made, good charge and powerful.

I am a professional glass artist and the 365 nm mini is by far my favorite flashlight for showing off my best works! It is extremely powerful even at a distance, and the wavelength reveals many exciting colors unseen by typical range- the uranium glass pops just like always, but I get a great reaction with cadmium, magnesium, and many other forms.I absolutely love the durability and dependability of UVBeast flashlights- The solid compact body and mechanisms are built to last, And feels more like a tool than a toy. Their customer service also does a great job to make sure you are happy with your product- If you are a glass artist or glass hunter looking for one quality flashlight to do it all- this is the one!

Functions well. Seems durable. Don't forget the double click to turn on. Works OK for rocks. Maybe not the highest quality but treat your equipment with care and respect and it will last. I wonder how long the battery will hold out?

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!

Charged it when it arrived. Red led turned on then off when it was finished charging. Used it for 2 hours, then went to charge it again. No led light. So I tried an older Apple charger (the square type with folding plug) and a different USB C cable. This time the led light turned on and I could recharge it. It turns out that some usb c cables are wider and won’t fully seat in the charging receptacle. It’s a matter of fractions of a millimeter.The button turns on with two clicks…a safety feature to keep it from turning on accidentally. You barely need to touch it to turn it off…not even a click.The light was bright enough for my purposes. I believe you can use two c123 batteries and it will work. I prefer to have things work well right out of the box. If I were a first responder and needed something to always work, I would return it, as quirks are not desirable in critical situations; however the light is small and takes up little space in my gear bag. I will be using C123, which last a long time and always work and can be stored in the light without issues. I’m a photographer so I’m used to gear having quirks and over promising and kind of delivering…and am used to figuring out workarounds for stuff…even for cameras which are thousands of dollars. I’ve noticed that more expensive lights also have honest negative reviews also so paying more doesn’t necessarily guarantee better quality.

I’ve been using the UVBeast V3 365nm Mini for the last month, and I’m genuinely blown away by how much performance they’ve squeezed into such a small package. This little powerhouse slips effortlessly into my pocket or toolkit, yet delivers the same high-definition 365 nm UV output you’d expect from the larger, bulkier models. From detecting pet stains on carpets to verifying currency authenticity, the beam is crisp and uniform, with virtually zero visible-light leakage thanks to the precision-filtered optics.Charging is a breeze—simply plug in the included cable and walk away. No fiddling with cap threads or hunting for a special charger. After a full charge, I routinely get over two hours of continuous use, and the upgraded LED cores keep the output rock-solid throughout. The double-click on/off toggle is a small but well thought out touch, preventing accidental activation when it’s riding on my keyring or stashed in a pocket.Build quality feels truly professional: the anodized aluminum body is lightweight yet robust, and the knurled grip gives you confidence when you’re pointing the beam into dark corners. Customer-driven refinements (like the wider beam angle and accidental-operation protection) really shine in the field. If you need a go-anywhere UV light that doesn’t compromise on power or convenience, the UVBeast V3 365nm Mini is hands-down the best compact UV flashlight I’ve ever tested.
