Greetings. I am looking for a UV pen light.
Wil be used to check for fake IDs & counterfeit cash both a low light & fully lit room conditions.
Prefer a 2AAA, but would be open to 1AAA.
Ideally around $25-$30
These are some of the lights I have come across, but no reviews specifically saying if they are good for what I personally need them for.
1) Fenix LD05 V2.0 $40 https://www.fenix-store.com/fenix-ld05-v2-0-edc-led-flashlight-with-uv-lighting/
I've read some reviews saying the UV lights is not strong/bright enough for outside of pure darkness environment.
2) INFRAY Pen Flashlight Black Light $18 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079DLVSFD/?tag=cpf0b6-20
-Don't think I've ever heard of Infray before, so I have no idea of the quality
-Its Amazon....could this $18 light really be that good?
3) 5.11 EDC PLUV 1AAA $25 https://www.511tactical.com/edc-pluv-1aaa.html
I've read that previous 5.11 penlights were a total crapshoot. Some great. Some bad. Couldn't find many substantial reviews on this exact light.
4) Olight I3UV EOS OD Green $15 https://olightworld.com/olight-i3uv-od-green
No review
5) Fraud Fighter Money Detector Pen UV $50 https://www.fraudfighter.com/fraud-prevention-products/counterfeit-detection/money-detector-pen
Banks use these. Saw the teller use it. Got to check it out. Seems very well built & is bright enough to use in a lit room.
Like this the most, but for $50, eh...……….
Open to other brands.
TIA
