HIGH INTENSITY BLACK LIGHT
UV Fluorescence
- possibly the world's smallest, brightest ultraviolet light. You can detect
counterfeits, check UV fluorescent hand stamps & much more. Our UV / Ultraviolet
light ("Backlight") LED flashlight is perfect for activating fluorescent ink,
strips & fibers used in bank notes, credit cards, casino chips, passports,
checks and more. This is just an amazing light, useful in so many situations.
This is the one to have in your pocket, car glove box and desk drawer, and
it certainly is the right size. You just ever know when you will need another.
They are wonderfully priced so you can own 2 or 3. 
The UV
LED beam has a fairly narrow focus and unlike a traditional backlight,
most of the light produced by the UV pocket light is just outside the visible
spectrum (385 nm). In full darkness it will cause objects to fluoresce at
distances of 20 feet or more. In bright daylight the effectiveness is greatly
reduced, but is still usable at about 6-12 inches. The light itself is about
1.5 x 1 inches - talk about being compact - large punch in a small package.
This has
an unbreakable LED Bulb. The LED bulb is incredibly tough and is covered
under a lifetime guarantee. The unit hides under a quarter and is the same
weight, a mere 5 1/2 grams. The lithium batteries last for approximately 20
hours.
The uses
of this black light are numerous.

"M C", and Visa has an eagle in UV ink.

We've
got to admit, if you want space and you want a bright UV light,
wow - you can't beat this one. New on the market - you find the best at
Amberica West.
Actually
there are many uses besides identifying fake Vs real amber. Here
are some of them:
- Many scorpion
species show up in UV light. Take your light to a desert and find
scorpions!
- Cat urine shows
up in UV light. Ever wonder if your cat is urinating behind the chairs?
- Paper Products:
Most paper products--like post cards, books, signs, photos papers,
etc.--made before the late 1930s-WW2 era rarely fluoresces. Paper
products made since 1950, however generally fluoresces brightly due
to large amounts of chemical bleaches and dyes.
- In works of
art, modern paint will fluoresce or glow under a black light, older
paints will not. Thus, pictures that have been "touched up"
with modern paint will glow.
Repairs or hairline cracks may show and become more apparent under
backlight.
- Art Glass:
Lalique before 1945 fluoresces yellow; after 1945, it does not. Genuine
old Burmese fluoresces bright yellow green, new reproductions do not.
- Porcelain:
Hard paste porcelain will fluoresce a deep blue or purple color. Soft
paste will fluoresce white.
