Any experience with 9LED UV from Blacklight shop?

[etc]

Is that the same thing frequently shown on Fle-bay for 9.99 plus shipping (with no bids), or something better? They have it for $22, is it worth it?

I think that this is pretty much the same thing. I actually ordered one and it came in today. It feels a little cheap when taking it apart, but it feels great in your hand. I cant really tell you much about the quality other than that because I'm not sure what to expect since I've never had an LED light before. I will say that it doesn't make things fluoresce as much as I expected it would (in a lit room, not much at all). I don't know whether this is because of my expectations or because the light is low quality. If someone could give me a good guideline for what this thing should be able to do then I'll post a better review.

Update: I found a room that I could get really dark and the light makes things fluoresce quite well. I also was able to do the same thing in a dimly lit room. I'm sure there are better uv lights out there, but this one seems well worth what it cost.

is it 385nm or 395nm? What's the wavelength? I would like about 380nm.
