S3 365nm UV Flashlight with 3 LEDs, Powerful Blacklight Flashlights for Pet Urine Detection, Resin Curing, Rocks, Scorpion

This may be "overkill" for some households if you only have urine problems from time to time: there are less expensive types available on Amazon. On the OTHER hand....this is a very solid and well made rechargeable black light. Structurally it is "heavy duty" with thick well finished metal construction. The large rechargeable battery promises long life, depending on use. Be sure to charge the battery fully with the charging unit before using. It's spring loaded and ensures the battery stays safely and firmly in the charger. FOR OUR household, this is an excellent unit upon first use. We have four dogs who are both inside and outside. Two are rescue dogs: an old male Shih-tzu and old Italian Greyhound. The former, as usual for most males, piddles on multiple areas and furniture feet daily (he is too old to "get fixed" according to the vet). The latter has a bladder problem and he "leaks" droplets daily all around the house. He was in a animal sanctuary for a year or two before we received him. SO......while we clean daily, we found out last night with first use of the light, that we missed a lot. Fortunately we use a spray that breaks down the urine, so the house doesn't smell, but we missed a lot over the past 2 months. We also live in a rural area, so it will be "fun" to see if there are any scorpions around: generally the wild birds like quail seem to keep them out of sight.

I love the rechargeable battery! The light is compact, shines bright and illuminates everything! I made the mistake of shining it around my sink and bathroom and now I'm cleaning everything with extra effort!

Works as it should! Found some sodalites with it.

I'm going to reiterate what one reviewer said when she stated something like, "If you don't want to see it, don't get this flashlight!" Holy hell, this thing is POWERFUL. I'm still shaking my head and things it showed! I had bought another, average UV flashlight and didn't know what to expect from trying another that was supposed to be stronger, but MAN, was I shocked. It came with the battery already powered up, so right off the bat, I turned off my house lights inside and turned on the Lumenshooter and saw things I DID NOT WANT TO SEE. But... then I started thinking logically. These flashlights show every speck of dust, every speck of any substance that is not like what it's sitting on, so you have to adjust your expectations. For example, I had some work done in my powder room months ago, and with the Lumenshooter I saw footprints of where the construction workers obviously tracked some grout onto the floor tiles. So, the grout shows up and really can't be removed. It can be CLEANED, but it's going to be there until I get some sort of acid to remove it. Same with some caulk on the painted walls (my construction folks sucked). That's not a hygiene problem; it's just science (or whatever). So, if you're trying to find cat or dog pee, you have to know what you're looking for and understand that NOT EVERYTHING YOU SEE is cat or dog pee. Or human pee, for that matter. I mean, SOME of it might be, but good luck sorting it out. The best you can do is use this light for CLEANING UP WHAT YOU CAN but understand that things aren't always what they appear. Bottom line: It's a damn-good UV flashlight!

I have a collection of minerals from the Franklin mine in New Jersey, which is world renowned for glow-in-the-dark specimens. Some glow wonderfully under this light, but others that I know will glow under other lights will not under this one. I’m assuming that’s because different minerals require different wavelengths to give off photons. The light works great for detecting, old dried cat urine, and gross stains in hotel rooms. While exploring in my garden at night, I found a centipede that lit up like a firefly under this light.

This was such a fun purchase! I wowed my college botany students by shining this on a solution of crushed spinach and alcohol to show them how free chlorophyll molecules fluoresce and glow neon red under UV light. And of course, it’s great for finding yooperlights on the beach! Or simply going on a night hike in the woods. I would recommend anyone who’s into nature buy a UV flashlight—there are so many organisms that glow under UV!

As described very powerful uv light only downside battery capacity last onky 4 hours and it takes 6 hours for full charge but besides that works very well

This little light works great for lighting up yooper lites. Its powerful and easy to use. It charges fast and is very durable. Perfect size for carrying in the beaches. I love this light and would buy again if i need another. I have told everyone that asks to get one.
