I am about to place a large bulk order for handheld UV flashlights. Many of you that have joined me on my "Glow-in-the-Dark" hikes or at the nature center have expressed an interest in getting your own UV flashlight.
I've tried a bunch now and settled on a supplier that sells this model. They have 21 UV LEDs and run on 3 AAA batteries. They are milled aluminum and have a recessed power switch on the back that has less chance of being turned on accidentally. They are 4" long.
I can get them for $5.50 a piece if anyone is interested. The batteries last a LONG time and they are very durable. I always keep one in my backpack now and keep finding cool stuff that glows. I brought one to Forestville Mystery Cave and had a great time when they turned all the lights off.
Let me know if you are interested, and how many, and I will put together an order. I can ship them to you via mail if you like.
Thanks a lot! Hope to see you at an upcoming hike!
