I wanted a black light to see the luminescence in crystals and minerals. I should have paid attention to the review of whO "Shock" (January 8, 2010). He was exactly right that 395 nm UV emits too much white light and is close to useless. Even in complete darkness, this did not work at all.
The product description includes "mineral hunting." This is misleading as I tried this light on all of my minerals and stones and it was completely useless. The quality of this little flashlight is great -- bright light, sturdy construction, and I will take it camping. So, three stars for misleading description about minerals.
I was trying to get something small and inexpensive because it was for my hobby. As usual, you get what you pay for. This may be fine for proteins or scorpion hunting, but for my purposes, I will be looking for 375 nm or lower.Get more detail about 395 nM UV Ultra Violet 21 LED Blacklight Flashlight, 7305UV395.
