Uses for UV flashlight?

lrp · Mar 30, 2006

I'm getting a UV Minimag modded light from uvflashlights.com and was wondering what all I could do with it? I tried using the search function but was unsuccessful. Thanks!!

I think blood will glow in UV light. There's also fluorescent ink that will glow in UV (use it at work for hand stamps).

Great for parlor tricks. You can amze your friends and neighbors by shining a UV light on vaseline marbles - it makes them glow really nice.

Detecting refrigerant leaks using a dye tracer and testing out materials' fluorescence property in labs.

Scorpion hunting...really.

Blood will not flouresce with a UV light alone, the blood of suspected area must be sprayed with luminol before a UV light will make it flouresce.

I use mine mostly for UV leak detecting dyes in AC systems and also for rock/mineral hunting.

Depends on the wavelength of the UV light. I don't know anything about it, you can try to use Google.
