Description
⚠️ UV SAFETY NOTICE: This product emits ultraviolet radiation. Do not look directly into the LED or beam. Protective eyewear suitable for this wavelength is required. See the product-specific safety information below before use
365 nM UV light torch 3w AAA battery powered ultraviolet flashlight
This 3w 365 nM UV light torch (Blacklight) is powered by 4x AAA batteries. (not included – but we recommend Alkaline for the slightly higher consistent voltage)

Dog and Cat pee/urine detection at this 365nm wavelength.
Dry urine will show easily on dark surfaces, fresh urine has a bluish look.
If you want maximum effect from “black light” reactive items, 365nm is the proper wavelength for this.
365nm UV light torch will activate faint traces in fluorescent objects (without the visible purple seen in a 395 nM UV light torch – click here for that version).
Therefore our 365 nM UV light is more suited to close-up work and faint detection.
Uses for the 365 nM UV light wavelength torch:
- urine detection
- faint traces of fungus
- mould detection
- leak detection in refrigerants
- gemstone excitation
- portable EPROM eraser
- detecting head lice eggs
- forensics, criminology
- water pollution detection
- security inks
- archaeology
- chemical probe testing, chemistry
- biology
- money checking, credit card checking
- food checking
- medical applications
- Antique glass (uranium glass, vasceline glass)
- Forged document detection
- A/C coolant leak detection (using dye)
- Carpet inspection
- Bathroom inspection
- Arson Investigation
- Semen
- Hotel room inspection
- Mineral Hunting (diamonds, etc.)
- Salmonella and Shigella bacteria detection
- Contaminate inspection (clean environment)
- Drivers licence UV markings
- Dye penetrant inspection (NDI/NDT)
- Magnetic surface analysis
365nm wavelength LED produce a near pure UV output which is the optimum frequency for UV fluorescence.
You will see far more detail and in a greater range of colours in gemstones than any other wavelength.
365nM UV generate less unwanted “Interference Light” and they may naturally appear weaker or more white compared to the visible purple 395nM version.
This can be misleading and should not be misinterpreted.
General rule of thumb is that the more visible UV light you see the less effective it will be for detailed, faint detection work.
This is how UV (Blacklight) wavelengths usually work:
- 230~400 nm: Optical sensors, various instrumentation
- 240~280 nm: Disinfection, decontamination of surfaces and water (DNA absorption has a peak at 260 nm)
- 200~400 nm: Forensic analysis, drug detection
- 270~360 nm: Protein analysis, DNA sequencing, drug discovery
- 280~400 nm: Medical imaging of cells
- 300~320 nm: Light therapy in medicine
- 300~365 nm: Curing of polymers and printer inks
- 300~400 nm: Solid-state lighting
- 350~370 nm: Bug zappers (flies are most attracted to light at 365 nm).
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Purchases of UV flashlights are subject to our UV Radiation Safety Notice and UV Protective Eyewear Notice and Product Safety Information (below)
⚠️ UV Radiation Safety Notice
UV flashlights emit ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and must be used with care. UV radiation can be harmful to eyes and skin, even when the light appears dim or is only visible as a faint purple/blue glow.
Never look directly into any UV LED; or allow UV light beams to reflect directly toward your eyes; or shine UV light directly onto your skin; and never shine UV flashlights at people, animals, eyes, skin or reflective surfaces.
Always use protective eyewear suited to the specific wavelength you are using (AS/NZS 1337.1) (see UV Light Protective Eyewear section below). Keep out of reach of children.
⚠️ UV Protective Eyewear
Ordinary glasses (sunglasses, prescription glasses, reading glasses, or fashion eyewear) and even protective eyewear should not be relied on unless they are confirmed as suitable safety eyewear for the relevant UV wavelength.
Different UV wavelengths carry different levels of risk.
🛑🛑 365 nm UV-A Product Safety Information
365 nm UV-A is ultraviolet radiation and can be harmful to eyes and skin, especially at close range or with prolonged or repeated exposure.
For close-range, extended, or repeated use, wear safety eyewear compliant with AS/NZS 1337.1 and marked or specified as providing UV400 protection.
Do not look directly into the UV LED or beam. Do not shine at people, animals, eyes, skin, or reflective surfaces.
Do not rely on ordinary glasses (sunglasses, prescription glasses, reading glasses, or fashion eyewear) unless they are confirmed as suitable safety eyewear for 365 nm UV-A exposure.
