I just don't understand why someone would have to use a filter for a monochrome light source. I mean if I have a 365nm UV led it will give me about 365nm of light and almost non of other wavelengths. So why use a filter? Info: I actually have no practical experience in this topic as my convoy S12 365nm uv is still in the mail. Thanks for the video👍🏻
The emitter gives off a spectrum of light that has the highest output in the wavelength desired. If you look at the datasheet for luminous devices sst-10 uv 365nm emitters, it shows the leds probable spectrum. For that model, it emits light in wavelengths that range from 310 to 420nm. Visible light starts somewhere between 380-400nm.
Thanks for your response, it seems that you are correct I have gotten my flashlight and it looks just like a 405nm led but if course mutch dimmer (I know that I can't see the 365nm light and I will not look into the light) but it has a wonderful Florescent effect on many things.
Thanks John for that great information I enjoyed it
Thank you! Really good video with great infos! Love your uv lights ! !!!

So all UV light sources put out some white light and the reason for the filter is just to block that white light and only let UV light through.
