3D Printer UV Resin Curing Light for SLA/DLP/LCD 3D Printing, Solidify Photosensitive Resin, 405nm UV LED Lights with 60w Output Affect

Disclaimer: I received this light at no charge, for review purposes, but my review will be fair and unbiased.The manufacturer lists this UV light as a solution for people who have resin printers, and who need it to fully cure their 3D resin prints. Although I don't yet own a resin printer myself, I have friends whose opinions I respect, that have and like this UV light for that purpose. My interest in the light, however, is for use with UV cured glues/plastics.I have been using a popular repair solution known as "Bondic," as well as less expensive products sold as "5-second Fix - Plastic Welding Tool," etc. All of these products use a pen-shaped applicator to allow repairs of broken objects using a liquid "glue" that hardens instantly under UV light. I have found that these solutions work great in situations where one needs to quickly fill and/or build repairs where the adhesive needs to set instantly, such as broken glasses frames, etc, but sometimes the tiny UV lights that come with them don't do as great a job at fully curing the products as I would like ... so I decided to try this much higher powered solution instead.My conclusion is: "WOW!" This light does a fantastic job of instantly curing the various glues/gels I've used, and the fact that I don't have to hold my finger on a button for an extended period of time is icing on the cake! The six UV LEDs shine very brightly, and get the job done effectively! The light gets warm with extended use, but never hot to the touch.So, let's talk about what you get: The light comes with an attached bracket that will let you easily mount it to whatever surface you choose. I would have liked if the housing had been molded so that it could stand freely without the bracket attached, but this isn't a big problem because the bracket itself can be used as a "foot" to help the light stand on a flat surface at multiple angles. The power cord has an integrated switch so that you don't have to plug or unplug the light in order to use it, AND because the switch is attached to the cord and not built into the light, if you mount the light inside an enclosure you don't have to reach in to switch it on or off.One important thing to note is that while the item description uses the word "enclosure," there isn't actually an enclosure included. You will have to build or provide that yourself, if you intend to use this to cure resin prints and want to reflect or disperse the UV light. Without an enclosure, you'll either need more than one light, or you'll have to rotate the object you're curing in order to make sure the UV rays shine on all surfaces.Aside from wishing the light had been molded with "feet," my only other suggestion is that the lens be redesigned so that the light from all six LEDs focuses evenly on the part being cured. The current lens projects a cross-hatch pattern that seems to focus more intense light along the borders of each LED rather than a more even dispersion of light. While I don't believe that there is a big difference in intensity, it could be better on future models. However, I would not hesitate at all in recommending this light to anybody who needs an economical and very bright UV solution!

Looking for a UV light that's more than just for resin printers? Look no further. The UltraCure UV Light is not just a hit among resin printer users; it's also a game-changer for those working with UV-cured glues and plastics. While its primary purpose is to fully cure 3D resin prints, its versatility extends to curing UV-based adhesives with impressive efficiency.What sets this light apart is its power and convenience. Featuring six ultra-bright UV LEDs, it swiftly cures various glues and gels without the hassle of holding down a button for ages. Plus, its thoughtful design includes an attached bracket for easy mounting, ensuring flexibility in usage. And with an integrated switch on the power cord, turning it on and off is a breeze, adding to the overall user convenience.Sure, there are minor improvements that could be made, like a redesigned lens for more even light dispersion and molded feet for stability without the bracket. But overall, the UltraCure UV Light shines bright as a reliable and economical UV solution, highly recommended for anyone in need of a powerful curing tool that goes beyond resin printing.Bonus points for being used by a few folks in my house. My wife has taken up resin crafts and was looking for a good curing light so this ended up working in a few spots in my house.

It's a UV light that emits UV Light. Works well at curing resins. Getting it set-up in a good position for prints is a trick sometimes. Curing is simple though. Will get a bit warm to the touch.

I've been using this to make cyanotype prints for 6 months and I'm happy with this light. Defiantly recommend making a lightbox setup with aluminum foil and a cardboard box so it doesn't get uneven exposure. It is small so if you're working with prints bigger than ~5x7 you'll need to move your lightbox around. However it creates consistent results, doesn't get hot, and is holding up well.

I've tried a few other UV lights and this one works the best. It cured resin on a piece of wood in about 3 minutes. It actually has an on/off switch in the cord - something the other lights didn't have. The price is very reasonable.

This is the best uv light I've ever owned

I collect vintage cameras and lenses and many camera lenses made in the 50s, 60s, and 70s use glass elements with radioactive thorium coatings, which over time turn yellow. While these lenses can still generally be used with yellowed glass, they lower the transmitted light and change the tint of color images to yellow. There are many guides online that talk about using UV lights, some from Ikea, to de-yellow the lenses. I bought this light as it boasts a dedicated 405nm wavelength and is much more powerful than the cheap LED lights that most guides use.I was able to successfully de-yellow a Canon FD 35mm f/2 SSC lens to almost completely remove all of the yellowing over night. Images in the gallery show the lens before and after. The difference is significant.My process involved wrapping the lens in foil with most of the body covered to protect it from heat, and shining the light through the rear element so that the foil can reflect some of the light back through the front elements, effectively treating both sides of the lens at once.The UV light does get pretty warm over time, so make sure you do this in a well ventilated area, and don't let the lens get too hot, but otherwise, it worked great. I am sure there are many other good uses for this UV light and the manufacturers probably didn't have "de-yellowing vintage lenses" as their goal, but it works great for it.As for the product, it feels well made, the all metal body and swiveling mount is a nice touch if you wanted to permanently mount this to something, although I didn't need to.
