Bigmac 79,
How bright would you judge the UV portion of this light to be? I also own the P20UV and am disappointed with the UV brightness. My Led Lenser V2UV using only 3 leds is much brighter than the Nitecore P20UV.
I typically use the UV for finding places that the cat yacked something up and the Nitecore isn't cutting it.

If your lenser seems much brighter, that could indicate a shift towards the visible spectrum, which may light up more of a room, but isn't "true" UV. I find the P20UV to be moderately powerful and perfect for close-range UV stuffs. Like finding marks on currency or on a passport, etc.

I'm using the light in almost total darkness. There's a throw comforter on the sofa which strangely has a number of blocks which fluoresce quite brightly.The Nitecore P20UV doesn't light up the comforter like the Led Lenser. The same thing for the lumensiant dial on my watch.
Finding cat yack is much easier after you hear them go than waiting for the morning and then having to scrub the hardwood floor and re-oil.
I've got a lab grade UV / black light, but it's got to be plugged in making it a pain to use.
I've got the box, but don't recall them having a manual inside. I've checked all three boxes and they're all the same, no manuals.
The only thing I can add is that there is a sticker inside the box indicating Nichia LED's were used. I looked up Nichia UV led's and the only unit matching the packaging is the NSPU510CS. The charts appear to suggest that the led operates between 365-370nm at a power rating of 15.3mw .
The model light number is/was 7732DUV
Coast list the model as PX10, but not information on the UV capabilities.
