@gonecyco Glad you are interested. The 395 may show some but you'll get a lot of visible (purple) light mixed in and the 51 led lights are not nearly as powerful as the model we use. The wavelength you need is 365NM. Even a low power light will work if you are up close to the sample and in complete darkness. So, it will work better as an inspection light rather than as a search light. I've tried many of the less expensive lights and none even come close to our Vertek light, but at $2500...
Excellent! I mean, not excellent there's still oil on the beach, but good job showing everyone it's still there.

Finally someone takes a UV light to the beach.. good job, I've been wanting to do this myself. What beach was this?
