UV Led light for cat pee.......

im looking for a decent UV light....................

mainly we will be using it for cat pee.......my wife is a Veterinarian...and we do a lot of fostering baby kitties here at home.....so having a good UV light is essential for us....so since our crappy little florescent UV tube light broke im looking for something better...AND cooler!!!

but im wanting to make sure i can actually use one standing up or will i need to be on my hands and knees to have the light right on the carpet to see anything........

thanks for your input!!

This is just me thinking out loud here but how about changing your title?
Replace laser with UV.
Or totally changing it to UV light needed to hunt urine! LoL
I clicked the thread ready to talk about weapon lights.........

Re: Streamlight LED w/ laser?

The best UV lights for urine detection are the ones that produce the highest contrast, i.e. the shortest wavelength. The 3C Twintask UV strikes a good balance between short wavelength and modest price. However you might have just as much success with a simple $10 portable fluorescent UV light. You can find these at Wally World and other outlets. They use a 4 watt FT4BLB lamp and also produce the classic 365nm blacklight wavelength, which results in good contrast between the stain and the surrounding carpet.

Try to avoid the 395-405nm "Near UV" leds as they produce so much visible purple light that the contrast is greatly reduced.

I have something to contribute, but I am going to work, reply ya later so hold on if you are close to buying something UV from your local convenience store. (I'm like on the opposite side of the world).

Peak LED sells all of their lights in UV. I have a brass Kilimanjaro? 1AA

Re: Streamlight LED w/ laser?

I own the mentioned Streamlight and its pretty good so long as the color of the surface isn't too dark. Assuming your carpet is light-colored the streamlight would be fine.

BryDaddy, you are in violation of Rule 8. Any further complaints regarding a moderators actions and you will be on a vacation from CPF for awhile. I am closing this thread.
