 Big, Solid, and neat UV August 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm quite versed with the world of flashlights. I frequent CandlePowerForums a lot, so I know a bunch about this type of stuff. With that said...
I bought this light because I wanted to have both long and short wave lengths of UV light, that way if one thing didn't light up with one wavelength, it was sure to light up with the other. Make sure you buy the Black one for this dual UV light feature.
The overall construction of this light is pretty solid and hefty. The weight of the 3 C batteries adds to the heft, but even without them, it's a beefy light with aggressive knurling. I'm pretty sure the anodizing is only type II, and NOT type III hard anodizing, which is a shame, but not a deal breaker.
Besides not having a HA-III coating, the only other thing I can complain about as far as the construction quality is the cheap plastic reflector.
I'm not sure if this light has regulated power output or not, but I seriously doubt it.
The incandescent bulb produces a decent amount of light, but the reflector and optics produce an ugly beam pattern with artifacts and asymmetries.
The UV lights are very neat and really do the job that UV light is intended for, but they aren't bright enough to get a wow factor in the day. Wait until night time and walk around your house with the house lights off... very cool to see everything.
So overall, I'm glad I have this light because of the neat things you can do with the dual wavelength UV light. I see the white incandescent bulb main light as just a bonus, icing on the cake type of thing. It just means that if I bring this light to somewhere to play with the UV, I won't have to also lug around a regular white light in case I need to see regular in the dark.
I wish it was smaller and used 1 or 2 CR123A batteries instead though.
Pretty good and neat light overall.
 Scorpion Finder August 16, 2008
We got this to hunt down the scorpions in our new house. The UV beam helps you spot them at quite long range (maybe 6-7ft). It's well built, does the job and was a great price.

I bought this to hunt scorpions and it works well. It seems a little weak compared to the other brand I bought. I found a better( more powerful) and cheaper (UV only) flashlight online and at our local hardware store. It is a Scorpion Hunter with 14 led lights 395-404nm output. Scorpions (up to 40 ft away with a 5 ft wide beam) It takes 3 C batteries. [...] if anyone is interested. They also have floodlights that are a lot more powerful.
Streamlight Twin-Task UV: excellent if you need one June 9, 2008
This is about the only flashlight I've found with two bands of UV coverage. It's excellent for illuminating UV dyes, and fluorescing minerals, and.. causing pet related biohazards to glow. The xenon (white) light is very bright as well.
Very useful UV and Built like a Tank February 9, 2008

Got this for finding those 'bad-dog' spots in the house--it worked! The black bodied light is the one you want for this purpose because it has the 370nM UV lights that seem to work better for finding urine. Remember not to look directly into the LEDs when you are using the UV emitters. UV exposure can damage your eyes. I also purchased a pair of UV-blocking goggles, which may be overkill, but is erring on the side of safety.
High build quality. Why not 5 stars? Price a bit high, the Xenon bulb is only medium bright by today's standards, and it's a big light, with 3 C cells in it.
