Applications
- Pet Urine/Stain Detection: Darken the room and slowly scan the area with the UV flashlight. Pet urine and other organic stains will fluoresce under the UV light.
- Currency/ID Verification: Shine the UV light on banknotes or identification cards to reveal security features that are only visible under UV light.
- Scorpion Detection: Scorpions are known to fluoresce brightly under UV light, making them easier to spot in dark environments.
- Resin Curing: Position the flashlight over UV-sensitive resins or glues to initiate the curing process. Follow the resin manufacturer's instructions for optimal curing times.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the lens is clean for optimal performance.
- Battery Care: Recharge the battery when the charging indicator shows red or when the light output diminishes. Avoid fully discharging the battery for extended periods. If storing for a long time, charge the battery to about 50% and recharge every 3-6 months.
- Storage: Store the flashlight in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flashlight does not turn on. | Battery is depleted or not installed correctly. | Charge the battery. Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity and the tail cap is fully tightened. |
| Light output is dim. | Low battery charge. | Recharge the battery. |
| Charging indicator does not light up. | Charging cable or power source issue; loose connection. | Check USB-C cable connection. Try a different USB port or power adapter. Ensure the tail cap is tightened as some reviews mention connection issues with loose caps. |
| Flashlight gets hot during use. | Normal operation for high-power UV LED. | This is normal. The aluminum alloy body is designed for heat dissipation. If it becomes excessively hot, turn it off and allow it to cool. |
