uvBeast V3 385-395nm Black Light UV Flashlight - High Power Upgraded Triple Broad Band LEDs Best for Professional/Commercial Use - USA Stock

The uvBeast V3 385–395nm Black Light UV Flashlight is seriously impressive. The power and brightness are far beyond the typical little UV lights you find online. It produces a strong, consistent beam that makes fluorescence really pop, whether you’re checking resin curing, inspecting surfaces, or just exploring what glows. The build quality feels solid and durable, and it’s very easy to use. I also appreciate how reliable and consistent the output is compared to cheaper UV flashlights that fade quickly. If you need a high-quality, powerful black light, this one is absolutely worth it. Great performance, great durability, and excellent value for the price.

I currently own five different UV flashlights, but after four years of use, the uvBeast V3 is the undisputed champion of my collection. I primarily use this for hunting lost golf balls at night, and it makes them pop like neon signs. Build & Durability: This light is incredibly well-made. I’ve dropped it occasionally on the course, and it has never skipped a beat. It’s durable enough to handle regular outdoor use without any issues. Performance & Battery: My hunts typically last 1 to 2 hours of continuous use. Unlike other lights that get hot or "step down" in brightness to save power, the uvBeast V3 stays cool and maintains a rock-solid intensity the entire time. I use the handle extension with three rechargeable 18650 batteries, which gives it phenomenal runtime. Customer Support: I’ve reached out to their team a few times with technical questions, and they always respond within 24 hours. It’s clear they are fully vested in their product and actually stand behind it. Verdict: After 4 years and comparing it to multiple other brands, I have no hesitation giving this a 5-star recommendation. If you want a UV light that actually performs, this is it!

It's a much nicer and brighter UV light than the others I have purchased in the past. The UV spectrum is clean and fully functional.

Excellent URANIUM finder for this gal! Oh, and to find where my Auggie (dog) messed. We also took it to the beach at night and found so many things. It was easy to use. Recharges well. Buy extra batteries. It does heat up some, so keep away from young children.

First off, this light is what it says it is, a Beast. The build quality seems to be good, the light "brightness" or intensity seems good. Overall it seems like a well built, heavy duty, light which probably justifies the price tag if it's the type of light you're looking for. In my case, I wanted a UV light source to inspect areas for the presence of scorpions around my property which are common in the NW portion of Arizona. This light was capable of illuminating the scorpions, and it was very bright within it's tightly focused beam. But this is where it didn't justify it's price point for my purposes. I also purchased another UV flashlight at the same time for under $20 which for spotting scorpions under my conditions, worked equally as well. With regular flashlights I am not a fan of the adjustable beam pattern, but with a UV light, for my application, this is where the $20 light really shined. I found that when the $20 light was adjusted to it's tightest beam, it illuminated the scorpion almost equally as well as the Beast. I say almost because it is evident that the beast is a slightly different light frequency than the $20 light that I am comparing it to and luminescence of the scorpion was only ever-so-slightly better with the Beast. But when adjusted to a wider "focus", the inexpensive light covered a wider area which allowed me to scan a larger area and then tighten the beam focus to conform a bright spot. So for my particular needs in finding scorpions, the Beast did not produce a light that was 3 times better than the lesser expensive light that was 1/3 the price. On top of that, the light is quite a bit bigger and uses two 18650 lithium batteries as opposed to just one for the $20, with similar run-times. However, the Beast comes with batteries and a charger whereas the lesser expensive light did not. There are some instances where the Beast will probably "out-shine" lesser expensive light, such as curing resins, or other needs where an exact light frequency is necessary. The only reason I keep using the phrase, "my needs", is that I think the Beast is a good product and I don't want this review to imply that it's a bad product in general, but rather just not that much better for the purposes I described. Happy scorpion hunting!

The uvBeast v3 is the most powerful uv flashlight there is. It projects a central spot of 11 degrees with a surrounding fill of 63 degrees. I zoomed my 3 watt 365nm uv flashlight to match the fixed fill circle of the uvBeast and found that even the Beast's fill gives a brighter fluorescence. The uvBeast beam is similar to my 36 watt LED uv bulb as seen in the first picture attached. The Beast has a tighter and brighter spot. I bought the Beast to get more portability than the bulb has with the 10 foot extension cord I attached with a bulb receptacle and switch on it. Since the Beast is temporarily out of stock, I'll let you know that my bulb shown in the second picture is no longer available at Amazon, but I see a similar one at https://www.amazon.com/KINGBO-36W-UV-Blacklight-Decorations/dp/B0749JNZXV/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=uv+LED+bulb&qid=1578421359&sr=8-7 I would strongly suggest you buy the uvBeast with the batteries and charger because 18650 batteries have gotten expensive and hard to find. I have not gotten the charger plug led to change to green indicating a full charge. I initially charged the battery for 7 hours. I stopped to measure the battery voltage at 4.22 volts, a full charge. I used the flashlight over a six week period and finally just left in on for another 25 minutes before it dimmed. Then I took a voltage reading every hour while charging the batteries. The result: before charging 3.05 volts 1 hour 3.47 volts 2 hours 3.52 volts 3 hours 3.56 volts 4 hours 3.60 volts 5 hours 3.62 volts 6 hours 3.63 volts 7 hours 3.65 volts 8 hours 3.66 volts It didn't come to 4.2 full charge volts this time, but I've read that you get the longest life from an 18650 battery when you don't fully charge it each time. Seeing how the charging started to level off at 4 hours, and the uvBeast has been working well since recharging, that's how long I'll charge it for in the future. Some reviewers ask what you can do with the uvBeast flashlight. Besides looking for animal urine and spotting scorpions, and checking for the fluorescent ribbon in currency from $5 up to $100, there is lighting up fluorescent blacklight posters, highlighting markers, many green dish washing liquids, laundry detergents, antifreeze, some clothing, and some minerals. If you don't mind being grossed out, aim the flashlight around the toilet in the bathroom or food prep area in the kitchen. I bought a set of 15 fluorescent minerals on Amazon from Frey Scientific, but most such sets would need a dangerous shortwave uv light for most of the rocks. Only 4 rocks would fluoresce as seen in the next 2 pictures. My favorite use for the uvBeast is lighting up phosphorescent glow in the dark powders, tapes, and pebbles, as seen in the next few pictures. I've been doing art with the tape. I found glow in the dark paints to be disappointing. The powders are often shown in bottles but packaged in plastic bags. I bought the bottles separately. The powders come in the most colors, 13, though many are a variation of green, blue, red. My camera didn't capture the true purple color. The longest lasting colors are the three that appear white in daylight but glow green, blue-green, and blue, and one of the reds, as you can see in the sequence of 10 minute exposures. The powder is messy. The tapes come in a total of five glow colors, though the red and orange are similar. The pebbles come in a few more color variations than the tapes. Many reviewers of the pebbles complained that they left them outside in walkways and they didn't glow. They do glow, but the powders, tapes, and rocks, will only glow in color for about an hour depending on the age of your eyes, after which their illumination drops below our color threshold. In complete darkness, you can still see a gray glowing all night long. Pebbles left outside will start glowing once the sun sets and lose their color during twilight that lasts longer than your night vision will see the colors. You need the uvBeast to light them up once twilight has ended. I have received word that they plan to market a 365nm, perhaps uvBeast v4? That is usually considered the sweet spot for uv flashlights, but I don't feel I'm missing anything with the uvBeast v3. A zoom ability would be nice, but taking a step back works just fine. Addendum: Note that I the pictures I refer to are not in the order they were downloaded. I'll number them in future reviews. How powerful is the uvBeast v3? Two or three seconds exposure in the central spot from several feet away is enough to fully charge any phoshorescent glow in the dark item. The most useful purpose for glow in the dark tape is on things you need to find or use in the dark, such as flashlights, astronomical telescopes, light switches, exits, etc. Another uv flashlight use is for collectors to identify depression era glass called vaseline glass, which is actually uranium glass. It is fluorescent in uv light. See the added picture of the doll. It is slightly radioactive, so you may wish to display such items behind glass, which ironically blocks the radiation from such glass. The four hour recharge of the batteries I suggest works out well because the 1 amp (1000ma) charger should theoretically put 4000ma into the battery pair in that time, which totally can hold 5200ma between them. That's about 77 percent charged. I highly recommend the uvBeast v3.

This is really an amazing UV light. When I saw the price, I was very hesitant, but I am glad I bought it, and will absolutely be keeping it because it is nothing less than stellar. It picks up EVERYTHING. I got it because we adopted a rescue and he still has accidents. This really helps in cleaning and getting every last speck out of the tile. It's pricey, but if it lasts a long time - it will be well worth it.

I bought the uvBeast V3 last week to replace an old "Stinkfinder" uv and flashlight combo (which I dropped and broke the uv light). So, I got online and did some research. The V3 price was higher than a lot of other units, but the product quality and viewability was "spot-on" so to speak. I walked around the whole house and was amazed by how many spots the dogs had left that I never even knew where there. I would have cleaned them up immediately, but sometimes you just don't see them do it or notice that the carpet is wet if it isn't a big spot. Some look like they were just a few drops of "excited pee" or "marking their territory", which I never would have noticed on my tan carpet and my multicolor floral wool rug. Unfortunately, they also marked my expensive curtains! Come on--I take them outside every two hours or more. Give me a break. A lot of areas will be off limits after they get cleaned and sanitized! I'm so pleased with this uvBeast V3 that I'm going to take it to all my pet clients and recommend that they get one too! A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY PET OWNER! Works great in the bathroom too--especially for families with men and boys. Sorry guys, but it's true. I also liked that it came complete with it's own UV glasses to protect my eyes (I never knew I had been damaging my eyes with the old UV flashlight that glowed on 3 sides), rechargable batteries, charger, extra o-rings and an extension piece (if you need longer battery life and want to buy another battery--good for hotels and such). Well worth every penny and I have only had it for a week or so!
