Tools and Hardware Reviews of 9 LED 400 nM UV Ultra Violet Blacklight Flashlight 3AAA, 7301UV400
Customer Review: Not as powerful as I'd of hoped.
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered this UV light to look for traces of dog & cat urine in my home. I have tried everything from shampooing carpets to using all those dusty powders on them. I heard that a UV light can pick up on the stains of old & new traces of urine. While my bathroom glowed like a night light, my carpets did very little. I even took a potty pad that has fresh urine on it, took it into my bathroom & closed the door so there was absolutely no trace of light - & the spot never glowed atall. To use this light, or any other UV light for that matter, you need absolute darkness. There were spots in the bedrooms that glowed very faintly, but you basically had to get on your hands & knees to see it. Overall, for tile & wood floors, this light works amazingly - but as far as carpets, you're better off ordering something stronger.Customer Review: Contacts are not great
Summary: 4 Stars
Generally, the flashlight is fun, and it works. We used it with my kids to "charge" the afterglowing stars in the bedroom, and it is ideal for that. When my daughter forgot to switch it off, the batteries ran out in a night; technically it did not stop glowing, but the light was so dim that it was no use in it. The biggest problem with it is that all the contacts inside are rather cheap (probably?), and so now, 2 months after the purchase, to make it working we have not only to press the button, but also to hit it several times randomly, until the contacts get in place. Then it some moment it would shut off spontaneously, and you hit or knock it again, and it works again flickering, and you knock it again, and now it works. You know how it happens.Customer Review: perfect, at least for me
Summary: 5 Stars
This lantern is very powerful considering it's size, which is, in my opinion way smaller than it looks in the picture, it was a good surprise and it makes this lantern an even better one.It's like pocket size(maybe even smaller), perfectly fits anywhere. I bought it because I'm getting an UV/blacklight tattoo and I want to be able to see it. I turned off the lights and turned the lantern on, pointed at the bottles of UV ink (I don't have the tattoo on me yet) and it looks amazing.
This lantern really works and I doubt you can find something better for the pricce. I'm happy I bought this. If you need a bigger lantern I wouldn't recommend this one though, it's really small.
Customer Review: Excellent Value for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good value long wave UV light particularly when compared with 395 nM 51 UV Ultraviolet LED flashlight Blacklight 3 AA, 7202UV395 which while more powerful emits quite a bit of visible light which reduces its effectiveness. This light is bright enough (in UV) to work moderately well in shaded daylight for pet stains etc and works well in a dark area. Does not put out much non UV light which is a plus. Excellent for close work looking at documents or currency. I would say it earned 4 stars for effectiveness and and extra one for value, as it is under $10.Customer Review: A flashlight that requires a bit of work
Summary: 2 Stars
I brought this item as a small, handheld tool to check suspected spot for cat urine. I can't comment on whether this was effective or not. My search didn't bring up anything, but I can't say if it's because there wasn't any spots or the quality of the blacklight.
However, the contact with the battery is horrible. I need to twist and turn the cap to get it in the perfect position to even turn on. When using it, the brightness of the light fails to remain consistent, probably caused by the same battery issue. Most of the time, the light would be too dim to use it any more than a few inches from the surface.
