Thanks! I got a clasohlsson 2 min walk from here so couldn't be better I just wanted to make sure that the one I get works for what I want it for.
Added a + for you

@arohk: What micro one are you using?

the little micro one I use is from a place called mari-tech I got it from my brother I will see if he remembers where he got them from he has his company name on them so he should know.

here are some photos of it




heres the link to the uv flashlight site I noticed it didn't come up before

you can get a uv pen light at an automotive store. They're used with a and oil like agent that you add to motoroil then use the pen's light to detect any seal leaks. Or in the animal world you can get UV bulbs 10.0 or 5.0 depending on the the intensity that way you don't have to hold a pen.

Thanks one of those would sure come in handy. It wouldn't be much effort for me to set up a standard lamp on the desk, but that one is mobile so that helps out as well. I'm going to check Clasohlsson in the week and see what they got.

@Boomstick66: I do got a couple of strong UV lamps usually used for Iguanas but those are white light. But thanks for the tip

I saw that with many of those flashlights come with something called Amber glasses. Are those doing any significant difference? Or is it for other purposes, like shooting glasses?

Edit: Never mind that, it's most likely just for "investigation". I think I'm going with a bulb.

we use the ones with the glasses in the auto repair trade they are not needed they just help you see dye better when its mixed with oils but the lights work just as well without them they are just reg yellowed safety glasses just thought I would clear that up in case anyone else was wondering

Thank for clearing that up

Bought the one from Clas Ohlsson, have not tried it yet.
