Wow, those look nice. Thanks for the heads up.
No more cheap-o 405nm Inova X1 for me!

DM5107-07-2007 04:07 AMRe: Update - July 2007

Please forgive an ignorant question, but what is the difference between 350 nm and 360 nm? Yeah, I know, $15, but apart from that? What different uses do they have?

cnw400207-07-2007 06:17 AMRe: Update - July 2007

What does that mean to the average Joe? All we want is a really good flashlight at a reasonable price. The Fenix LOD CE is cheaper and offers more than one level so the user can choose. I have two Matterhorns left, having given away three others because they do not offer much. I would buy the Baltic but the pathic excuse for a webiste doesn't seem to offer it in a lug stye. I want the lug style for a keychain light. The baltic is way too long and too large for that. What do people use the UV flashlights for?

BentHeadTX07-07-2007 06:25 AMRe: Update - July 2007

I use UV to detect blood contamination inside medical equipment. It is also used to find scorpions inside bedding when living in areas that have those creatures roaming around.

Since I will probably be going to one of those countries in the next 6 months, I'll pick up a 7 LED 350nm model to increase my ability to find blood contamination and the scorpion detection is a bonus. Don't forget the orange UV goggles to protect the baby blues!

When it comes down to comparing the Baltic AAA VS the L0D CE, you have to remember what the light will be used for. My stainless Ultra Power SSC LED version is bomb-proof with the potted electronics and gold-plated brass positive contact giving me the durability that I require. Sometimes your light has to always work and it can take weeks to a month to do warranty returns depending on your location. My Baltic rides with my Leatherman Charge Ti in the small side pocket of the Leatherman holster ready for use. The stainless Baltic is too heavy for a keychain but is a perfect match for the multi-tool. Added bonus: titanium and stainless tools go together.

The difference between your post and mine is that I was asking a genuine question to which I am interested in finding the answer, whereas you are trashing this thread.

My understanding is that the 350nm is ideal for curing (hardening) UV curable compounds such as UV curable adheasives or coatings. The 360nm is more suitable for mineral id, blood locating, urine detection, etc...

Someone who is more expert, please chime in anytime...

Ken

DM5107-07-2007 07:33 AMRe: Update - July 2007

Thanks Ken, that's exactly the sort of info I wanted to know. I had tried various combinations of words in Google, but that didn't really tell me much. Sounds like the 360 is the one I'm looking for - just as well, as it is the cheaper option.

Nebula07-07-2007 08:56 PMRe: Update - July 2007

Robyn - e-mail sent with Qs on the UV lights. Thanks. Kirk

Ken: My experience is in drying UV-curable inks in presses, and it is the 350nm wavelength UV the is the one used. But the amount of POWER needed in an industrial situation is totally different from any hand-held lamp - the Peak would be like a drop in the bucket, not useful for much. I'm sure it's the same for curing adhesives. But I'm wondering - is 350nm used to get the mint markings on real $100 bills (others too?) to show up?

DM51 you may like to look here there you can find a application matrix amongst other things of intrest www.uvflashlights.com i hope this helps.

DM5107-09-2007 04:14 PMRe: Update - July 2007

Thanks very much Titan, that is a very useful link.

By the looks of that chart these are too low a value to work as dog or cat urine hunters. :sigh: Looks like 380nm would be better?

dont forget which ever one you choose.you wil need the glasses.as they not only help to protect you eyes they also enhance what you are looking at under UV.

DM5107-10-2007 11:06 AMRe: Update - July 2007

Sorry, another ignorant question: I thought it was only dangerous to look at the UV light source, not at the object illuminated by it. By definition, UV is beyond violet, so it should be invisible to the human eye; however it excites a part of the visible spectrum coloration in some objects so they become visible. Typically, white becomes very bright. Am I wrong there?

I believe the concern is how much raw UV light will bounce back at you unseen.

One of those cheap 380~390 Nm units has lots of light you can see. These 350~360 Nm units should be either invisible or very dim, I'm not sure which yet. There is also some variation in how far down people see.

Yes, precisely.

In laundry detergent they add optical brighteners. When struck by the UV in daylight they flouresce, which makes the white fabric look brighter and whiter. Hunters sometimes get special detergent that doesn't have brighteners, so their clothes won't fluoresce. Deer can see into the UV, so these brighteners make you glow when looked at through deer eyes.

The 360nm LEDs I have are visible but fairly dim.

DM5107-16-2007 12:57 AMRe: Update - July 2007

Ken, thanks for the info.
Norm, what do you use your 360nm and other wavelength LEDs for?

Grubbster07-16-2007 02:47 AMRe: Update - July 2007

I have one of the 360nm matterhorn 3 led on the way. I'll see what it can light up when it gets here.

 

[Spypro]

I would like to know how and where to buy those new UV flashlights.
I'm really interested in the Kilimanjaro AA 7 LEDs UV 360nm.
On the website they don't seem to be available.

Thanks !

 

[LED_Thrift]

Try calling them. THe Peak website doesn't always have everything.

 

[Spypro]

I emailed them yesterday and no answer yet.

 

[Grubbster]

I would call. They will always answer the phone during business hours.

He seem to have one of them ordered.
I wonder how to.
I really want one
I would call them but my English is pretty average on the phone :$

Could you get a friend who speaks better English to call with you after you tell your friend what you want. Or maybe someone at Peak speaks other languages.

 

[LEDcandle]

Anyone got any further news on this? I might want to get a Kilimanjaro 7-LED UV too....
