  10. Your test of the UV light was AWFUL close to the target. Would have liked to see the performance outside at night at a distance of 10 feet for locating uranium. The main feature of the light is the UV. You can get a heavy duty standard metal flashlight anywhere for cheap.

  16. some fish can see uv-light as well. so it can be usefull to judge the color of fishing lures, more like from a fish's perspective. because some colors look like nothing for our human eyes (like 'motoroil' for instance),but deep down at the bottom of a lake, where almost only uv-light comes through,it's highly visible.but other colors which look almost the same for us, don't glow under uv-light ('motoroil' 'appleseed') and are not as visible for fish which can see uv-light (perch,zander/walleye?)

  18. LOVED the intro!!! and great demo. but i'm just wondering, you aren't proposing this as part of any prepping kits, right? i can see how it has great functionality intended for other tasks, but don't see the usefulness, especially considering weight and size, in an EDC or bugout situation. could i be missing something, or was this non-prepper based?
    thanks for sharing! great vid as usual!!!

  19. You can use the UV on money also. We have these fraud fighter machines at work that show us where the security tabs in the money are, if it's in the wrong place then uh oh! Also works on diamonds! I found out that one of the diamonds in my wedding band is flawed because of that same machine! LOL Also saw things on money I pray to God is NOT what I think it is… Cool little gadget!

  26. Excellent points! C batteries DO suck! Hopefully I didn’t blind everyone that watched this video when I shined the flashlight to the camera (just kidding). I probably screwed up my eyes a bit during filming though. I’ll check out those mini versions that you recommended. I didn’t know about rodents. The whole aspect of scorpions and UV is pretty interesting though. Pretty amazing creatures. I would definitely EDC a mini UV light if I lived in a region that has scorpions.

  27. I had a feeling people would be grossed out by that part. I wanted to test one of the bodily fluids. Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed more of the scientific explanation on certain parts. I wasn't sure if the viewers would want that kind of information or would prefer to make the review with the assumption that everyone already knew how UV worked. I didn't, so I did some research and thought it would be interesting for the review. Thanks for the comment.

  28. Sorry for the gross factor during the urine testing. I wanted to include one of the bodily fluids in my tests, and that just happened to be the easiest one to use. BTW, are you saying you would have preferred less information on UV? Just curious…

  31. Downside: C sized batteries!
    Also: NEVER look into a UV light – you can cause significant damage as your eyes won't blink (because you can't "see" UV) but you are exposing the cornea to the high intensity rays.
    For the average user, the mini UV flashlights from places like Photon and Inova might be better (keyring size and about 1/4 price). That would allow you to EDC it.
    Finally another use: Rodent control. People use these lights to track mammals if they have a rodent (or scorpion) issue.

  32. The urine part got me a little disturbed, but beside that it was a great review!! I really like the more scientific explanation on certain parts of the video, thanks and take care!!

  34. Thank you for this review. It was highly interesting to me and sad also!! Why sad? You showed the 05 mini light and as I just lost mine, I am told now that they don't produce it anymore… Damn I loved it…

    Thank you again tho….. 🙂
