It uses 3AA, which is what I wanted.

You'll probably be a lot (A LOT!) happier with this one, from the same seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/380-385-nM-UV-U...hZ012QQcategoryZ66951QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

It may not have as many LEDS (the different between 49 and 21 isn't that huge), but I think the lower wavelength will be more easily appreciated. I have a 395nm 1w light and one of the above linked 380nm lights, and I find the 380-385nm light to be MUCH more useful. Anything a 395nm light will flouresce, a 380-385nm light will flouresce better. The longer wavelength of the 395nm light will put out much more visible light, meaning, it will appear brighter, but the things that will actually flouresce, will flouresce more vibrantly with the shorter wavelengthed light (380-385nm).

I saw that lite on the forums... problem is, I want to stay with the AA for simplicity, AAA is kind of useless IMO.

I noticed brightguy.com has a lot of UV lites. Now I have an idea what spectrum to look for.
