Inova X5 is the brightest one I have.

I have a brass peak with spare battery holder built in. Also a Aleph 123 model that rocks. Definately need glasses with both as the UV is very hot.

In a trade I acquired an aleph a19 head with a Uv cree in it...that thing is absurdly bright.
I would think a UV light shouldn't be bright depending on the wavelength UV should have very little visible component, my best UV light 365nm is very dull until you shine it on something that [SIZE=-1]floureces.[/SIZE]

Doh! That's what I mean, it makes things fluorece extremely bright, the light itself emits a deep purple from the emitter, and a hard to look at emitter.
I have an Inova and WiseLED UV tail lamp now and was looking for something brighter. The Peak and Aleph might be something for me to look into. I have a Vital Gear FB2 Body already and the Aleph head might be a good match for it.

The Aleph beam is focused enough to project close to 20 feet in ambient light. It's really quite powerful. I use it on fineart that is wall hanging and for mineral searching. Brightest UV I've ever seen.

Who is a good supplier of bright UV LEDs?
Kai has this thing, but I don't really know anything about it. :shrug:

I used this body:

And swapped the resistor and changed the led to this:
http://www.led1.de/shop/product_inf...673&xploidID=8200901cae4230001ba7ba129f0795e9
But I don't have anything to compare it with.

I'm looking for a good UV light as well, in the 365 nM range. It seems most of the cheap stuff out there is 395-410 nM. I don't know much about UV, but I've heard the cheaper UV lights will fluoresce many things, but the lower nM versions light up animal urine better. That's what I need, because one of my dogs likes to treat the carpet as her bathroom. :hairpull: I want to get a UV light so I can find those accident spots quickly. Any suggestions?
Don't need to. DealExtreme sells the UV emitter:

Which I followed the instructions to mod into the Elly AA light. And it's nice!
I ordered that KaiDomain 3W UV Star and the 3150 3W driver. However, they sent me a 3W IR Star instead arrrghh.... IR is the opposite of UV

I use the Streamlight TwinTask for this purpose (375 & 390 nM wavelengths, either 375 alone or together). I have found lots of bad-dog spots in my house with this light :hairpull: :hairpull: :hairpull: Also has a white xenon beam.
See here. You want the black-bodied one, not the titanium-bodied one. And yes, the 375 seems to work better for finding those spots. Never used a 365 so I can't say about that.

Anyone have any experience/reviews of the Streamlight Twin-Task 3C UV LED (375 NM) ?
