4.1 Dual UV Lamps

This flashlight is equipped with both 365nm and 395nm UV LED beads, each with high power output. Separate switches allow for independent or simultaneous activation.

• UV 395nm (Violetish Light): This wavelength is brighter and visible to the human eye, ideal for general detection tasks such as pet urine, scorpions, and certain stains.
• UV 365nm (Bluish Light): This is a true invisible UV light, less visible to the human eye but highly effective for detecting fluorescent agents, watermarks, and uranium glass. It performs best in dark environments.

4.2 Key Features

• Focus Adjustable Head: Allows for easy transition between a wide floodlight and a narrow, focused beam.
• USB Rechargeable: Built-in rechargeable battery with USB-C charging port and a four-level LED power display.
• Durable Construction: High-quality aluminum alloy case, shock-resistant (up to 10-foot drop), and IPX4 waterproof rating.
• Portable Design: Compact size with a pocket clip for easy carrying.

5. Setup

5.1 Initial Charging

Your flashlight comes with a pre-inserted rechargeable battery. For optimal performance, fully charge the flashlight before first use.

1. Locate the USB-C charging port on the flashlight body.
2. Connect the provided USB-A to USB-C cable to the flashlight and a compatible USB power source (e.g., laptop, wall adapter, power bank).
3. The four-level LED power display will indicate charging progress. All four lights will illuminate when fully charged. A full charge typically takes 5-7 hours.

5.2 Optional AAA Battery Use

While the flashlight is designed for its rechargeable battery, an AAA battery holder is included for emergency use. Insert 3 AAA batteries into the holder and then insert the holder into the flashlight.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off and Mode Selection

The flashlight features two separate switches for independent control of the UV 365nm and UV 395nm lights.

1. To activate UV 395nm: Press the switch labeled "UV 395nm". Press again to turn off.
2. To activate UV 365nm: Press the switch labeled "UV 365nm". Press again to turn off.
3. To activate Dual UV (both 365nm and 395nm): Press both switches simultaneously. Press either switch again to turn off its respective light, or both to turn off both.

6.2 Adjusting Focus

The flashlight head can be adjusted to change the beam focus from a wide floodlight to a narrow spotlight.

• To widen the beam (floodlight): Push the flashlight head inwards towards the body.
• To narrow the beam (spotlight): Pull the flashlight head outwards away from the body.

6.3 Applications

The dual UV wavelengths make this flashlight suitable for a variety of uses:

• Pet urine and stain detection on carpets and surfaces.
• Cat ringworm detection (365nm is often preferred for this).
• Scorpion searching.
• Detecting fluorescent agents in cosmetics or fabrics.
• Currency and document identification (watermarks).
• Uranium glass and mineral detection.
• UV resin and 3D print curing.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

Wipe the flashlight body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

7.2 Battery Care

• Recharge the battery when the power indicator shows low charge to prolong battery life.
• If storing for an extended period, charge the battery to approximately 50% and recharge every 3-6 months.

7.3 Storage
