Standard UV LED torches/flashlights in the 400nm range generally produce a strong ‘UV beam’ best suited to illuminate at a distance.
These UV flashlights will find golf balls and scorpions at a distance because of the 3w narrow beam UV LED.
Great for checking credit cards and various other standard UV functions.
395 nM UV light torch uses
- 230 to 400 nm: Optical sensors, various instrumentation
- 200 to 400 nm: Forensic analysis, drug detection
- 300 to 400 nm: Solid-state lighting
365 nM UV light torch (click here) generates less unwanted “Interference Light” and they may naturally appear weaker or more white compared to the visible purple 395 nM UV light 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.
🛑🛑 395 nm UV-A Product Safety Information
395 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.
