With 3 AAAs it will work only in very dark rooms.

It work well in basements

However, The one I have with 3 C cells is 3-4 times brighter than the one with 3 AAAs.

Mikey;

Are you a professional ?

Then the answer is NO.

First of all there is ~$2 worth of parts in that light.

About 60 cents for 21 reject LED's at incorrect wavelength.

Since they are factory rejects, some will fail in the 1st month of use.

(biggest problem in very low cost lights)

There are no electronics at that price level, so they are unregulated with new non-rechargeable batteries.

There are a few low cost UV lights, but they will use quality high power UV LEDs.

We still sell one ($40), but it must be used in dark lighting,

so it is of limited use to point out problem areas to customers.

It is better to purchase a higher power UV light to allow customers to see the urine deposits.

Only then, can you charge the proper amount for the scope of the work required.

Hey Larry If you made it rechargeable with a cigaret lighter you would really have something and I would get $10.00 bucks for everyone you sold. OK $25.00........ if you say so. :idea:

A floresent (sp) at spencer's gifts in a mall works just fine.

Or buy a black light bulb at lowes or HD.

I do have one of those uv maglites from jon don.

Kind of disappointed in it's performance and the price of $250 for the POS.

Hey Mikey,

I would just tell your customer to get a $20.00 florescent 120v poster backlight form Wal-Mart. It will work better than a cheep led.

I just ordered this one off ebay for $100.00: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200380052476?ss ... 1497.l2649

Whatever you do don’t replace your turn signals with LEDs. The damn things don’t draw enough amps to work the flasher.

Mike,

There are a few makes of the design pictured on that page. I've got two on my desk, look the same (externally) as that light, yet one is retail ~$39.00, and the other ~$79.00. The more expensive one puts out quite a bit more useable UV. Neither of which I would call "top-end". Which light is on that website is a crapshoot unless they give more useable specs.
