Quality UV Flashlight for Scorpions

[TUC]

I am researching blacklight flashlights for detecting scorpions. I am thinking of getting a Tank007 1-Watt LED Ultra Violet 365nm Blacklight Flashlight from Blacklight.com.

I am looking for a quality build, plus a light that will "reach out". I would like to know if this is a good choice, or if there are others that I should consider. I do not know anything about lights, so any info would be mucho appreciated.

Thanks.

Get yourself a decent P60 host, such as Solarforce, some copper tape or aluminum foil, and contact nailbender to build you a UV P60 drop-in. This build will get you some throw, more than the Tank007.

Thanks for the reply!

I never needed anything bigger than my little
Arc Flashlight AAA UV
It works just fine outdoors, looking for scorpions.

doh,
still I am not convinced that this really works ...
just came home from a bike tour in Marocco, where I also brought some powerful, cheapo DX-UV insert ... to learn there are no scorpions in the anti atlas, because it is too cold there
:thinking:
