Pretty self-explanatory. Any suggestions? I notice that the sandwich shoppe has some UV alephs....

there's a chart that will show what wavelength (nm) is best for what type of stuff you are looking to light up. i ordered a few 380nm LEDs cause it looks like the best all around use (i'll be using it to see where my dog made a mess as well)
ppl have used inova x5uv. others have found those cheap made in china, bought on ebay to work well for them.
if you find a uv light that works for you, pls post your results

I was going to offer them as a 25 for $10 or something to CPF members for fillding with, since they are too labor intensive to go through

i'm sure they're not (crossing fingers)
thanks for your help Piers with me and Peak Solution
RadarGreg said:Why would it not be possible to manufacture a flashlight using a SF U2-like design that allows you to switch between different UV LEDs? It would be handy to have one light that could have one position for 400nm, another for 365nm, etc. I'd think a switchable flashlight with four positions would just about cover all the UV range. Just a thought...
