1. Introduction
The Alonefire SV116 is a powerful 365nm UV LED flashlight designed for a variety of detection tasks. Its specialized ultraviolet light is ideal for identifying fluorescent agents, security codes, pet urine stains, scorpions, and authenticating currency, documents, and antiques. Unlike 395nm UV lights, the 365nm wavelength is less visible to the naked eye, making it more effective for revealing subtle fluorescent markings and providing strong penetrating power for accurate and reliable detection.
2. Safety Information
- CAUTION: Do not look directly into the UV light. Prolonged exposure can be harmful to eyes.
- Keep the flashlight out of reach of children.
- Use only the specified battery type (26650) and charging method (USB Type-C).
- Do not disassemble or modify the flashlight, as this may void the warranty and pose a safety risk.
- Avoid exposing the flashlight to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods.

- Scorpion Finding: Scorpions glow brightly under UV light, making them easy to spot in dark environments.
- Currency and Document Verification: Reveal security features on banknotes, passports, driver's licenses, and other official documents.
- Mineral and Ore Detection: Many minerals fluoresce under UV light, aiding in identification.
- Leak Detection: Detect automotive fluid leaks (when used with UV dye).
- Antique and Art Conservation: Identify repairs, restorations, and authenticity of various materials.
- Fluorescent Agent Detection: Spot fluorescent whitening agents in cosmetics, clothing, or other products.
- Pet Fungus Detection: Observe fluorescence patterns on pets to identify certain fungal infections like ringworm.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Battery Care: If storing the flashlight for extended periods, remove the battery or ensure it is charged periodically (every 3-6 months) to maintain battery health and prevent deep discharge.
- Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Ensure the Type-C charging port is free from dust and debris.
8. Troubleshooting
- Flashlight not turning on:
- Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the positive (+) end facing the head.
- Check if the battery is charged. Recharge if necessary.
- Light is dim:
- The battery level may be low. Recharge the battery fully.
- Charging issues:
- Verify that the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the flashlight and the power source.
- Try using a different USB cable or power adapter to rule out faulty accessories.
9. User Tips
- For optimal detection of fluorescent agents, pet stains, and scorpions, use the flashlight in a dark environment. The 365nm UV light is specifically designed for high-demand detection and may appear less bright than 395nm UV lights, but it offers superior accuracy for certain applications.
- When checking for pet urine, allow your eyes to adjust to the dark for a few minutes before scanning the area for better visibility of stains.
- The flashlight's aluminum alloy body is durable and shock-resistant, but avoid intentional drops or impacts to prolong its lifespan.
