Important Notes
- This is a 395nm UV (ultraviolet) flashlight — it emits near UV-A light, which is largely invisible to the human eye. It is not a high-brightness white-light flashlight and should not be judged by white-light standards.
- Do not point directly at eyes — UV light can be harmful with prolonged direct exposure.
- Remove batteries when storing for extended periods.
- AAA batteries are not included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a 395nm UV flashlight used for?
A: A 395nm UV flashlight emits near UV-A light that causes fluorescent materials to glow visibly. Common uses include detecting pet urine stains on carpets and furniture, locating scorpions outdoors, verifying security markings on banknotes and documents, and assisting with UV-cure applications. It is not a standard white-light flashlight — its value lies in making invisible fluorescent traces visible.
Q: Does this UV flashlight come with batteries?
A: No, AAA batteries are not included with this flashlight. You will need to supply your own AAA batteries. The flashlight supports a wide working voltage range to help maximise battery life and efficiency.
Q: Is the UV pen flashlight safe to use around pets and children?
A: Yes, when used responsibly it is safe for household use. Always avoid pointing the UV light directly at eyes — for both humans and animals. Keep it stored safely out of reach of young children, and remove the batteries when the flashlight is not in use for an extended period.
Q: Why does the UV light appear faint or barely visible?
A: This is completely normal for a 395nm UV-A flashlight. The ultraviolet output is largely invisible to the human eye — you will only see a faint violet residual glow. The light's real power is revealed when it strikes fluorescent materials, causing them to glow brightly. This is by design and consistent with all UV-A flashlights in this wavelength range.
