Quick Question about 365nm light source.

[RThoads]

Hey guy,
I messed up and forgot to add a UV light to my LabMax order.
I am a normal blue collar working man and so money is an issue; I don't want to pay more than I have to and on the LM site it would be about $30 for the light and then more for shipping.

Found some UV flashlights on Ebay (just searched for same brand as seen on the LM site...but I don't know if exact model is the same).

would something like this work: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultrafire-G60-UV-1w-LED-Ultraviolet-365nm-Flashlight-Torch-/220597577414?hash=item335ca3e6c6

no it has to be the correct wave length or it is useless.

 

[RThoads]

the ebay listing (linked) says it is 365nm -- I assume that they are all the same then as long as they are 365nm? is that correct?

 

[glycomann]

should be Ok as long as enough watts

What this be a good replacement?

The Ultrafire is one of the better cheap lights. I used one for over a year with no problems.

IL just bought thE one above.. it should work since it has the same wavelength.

good 365 UV is expensive I have seen some model going as high as $100

this one is most likely 395 nm and they sell as 365 nm, but speaking precisely it has wide output

like 365 nm - 370 nm,

it is vey easy to test for example on passport, it will not show all the hidden print

So, do you think I'm good?
