I was wondering how's the brightness of an UV flashlight comparative to white LEDs one ? I have never had such a light.
I had 2 INOVA X5s : one white and one with blue LEDs...I had the impression that the blue one was a bit brighter than the other one.
The same impression I have it when comparing my 2 T3 TIROS INOVAs : white LED and blue LED.

I know the UV is used to check the money and some liquids ...but I was curious about the brightness...
How's the tint also ? Purplish-blue ?

Any suggestion would be much appreciated ! Thank you !

You can't see UV, so the light(the violet that you can see) will appear dimmer for the same watt imput.
