Handheld UV LED Flashlight (batteries sold separately) | HHUVLED | DISCONTINUED |
This UV LED flashlight is custom made for Way Too Cool, LLC. Because of my patent, the manufacturer has agreed that I am the exclusive distributor of this product in the USA.
This flashlight offers filtered UV light at an excellent value. UV flashlights are a favorite among fluorescent gem, rock and mineral collectors for their portable size and ease of use. They can also be used for other purposes such as currency inspection, scorpion hunting, checking for pet stains, and other uses around the home.
The Ergonomic Knurling Pattern offers a comfortable, secure grip in your hand. The flashlight has an ON/OFF Click switch on the body (tube), and it has a Wrist Strap. Dimensions: 6 1/8" long x 1 1/4" diameter. Weight is about 3.6 ounces (102 grams) w/o the battery.
The WTC Handheld UV Flashlight will operate with three (3) AAA batteries using the included holder. The light will also operate on a single 18650 lithium rechargeable battery. Lithium batteries offer the longest runtime. Using a single 18650 Li-ION battery rated from 2,500 - 3,000 mA, the flashlight provides up to an hour of use on a charge. The batteries will arrive discharged because of postal regulations and the batteries should be charged prior to use. Please be aware that some manufacturers claim that their 18650 batteries are rated for up to 9,000 mA and that any value over 3,500 mA should be carefully investigated for accuracy.
William Gardner has US Patent #7781751 for the use of colored glass absorption filters (and other kinds of wavelength changing absorption filters for use with UV LED battery operated devices). If someone imports, makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells filtered UV LED flashlights in the U.S., using colored glass absorption filters such as Hoya glass, Kokomo glass, or ZWB2 glass, they are infringing US Patent #7781751. William Gardner has authorized Way Too Cool, LLC to use his patent and he is willing to license the use of the patent to other manufacturers of filtered UV LED Flashlights and similar UV battery operated devices. If you buy a filtered UV flashlight or other similar battery operated product that does NOT have U.S. Patent number 7781751 on it - please be aware that it is COUNTERFEIT and that selling it, or purchasing it, infringes on the patent and is illegal.
