I know that UV Led lights will sow up dog urine stains and other fluids, but I have also heard that blue Led lights will do the same thing plus show up blood for deer tracking very well. Would a blue inova X5 be as good as ultraviolet led lights for both purposes? I am going to buy something to detect dog stains on the carpet, and would prefer to buy the Inova X5 if it is just as good, rather than a one purpose UV light. But not if it is not as good.

You'll need both blue and UV to do what you ask.
****, sperm, sweat (urine, semen, perspiration), and other bodily fluids (both human and animal) will fluoresce under UVA radiation; blood will show up as black under blue radiation - it will not fluoresce or glow like some might say - not even under UVA radiation.

Exactly, blood will show up black under Blue, and not "glow in the dark" under UV, as I have seen advertised on some websites.
Some hunters find looking for black blood difficult under blue light. If you would rather the blood to flash back at you RED, then you can check out our BloodTracker flashlight

Blacklights are UV lights. They have little or no spillover light into the visible spectrum. Blood will not fluoresce under these lights either.

I have a royal blue LUX III light, I have found if you use LASER viewing googles (like the ones that come with some LASER levels to help see the beam), urine stains (in hotels) show up quite well. a little too well if you ask me...:green: :toilet:
