Best UV Lights for Yooperlights
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2024
- This is my review from many weekends and long nights along the Lake Superior shoreline. I started hunting Yooperlites last winter and it just catches on to you! They are fun and exciting to find, but it helps when you have the right UV light - and what you need is a black light filtered 365nm spectrum UV light. This is just to help point you in the right direction if you are new to finding Yooperlites and want a good head start. My pick is the Alonefire 12W UV 365nm light: www.amazon.com/Alonefire-Flas...

Best explanation and demo I’ve seen on UV flashlights. Well done. Thank you.
Exactly!
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".
Soon, there is going to be the rapture. It's when there will be trumpet sounds, and after the trumpet sounds, God will lift his people from here. Also, God said people should be living by the Bible. Amen, and God bless you.
Agreed
Thank you… I was about to spend $100 to take my two daughters hunting… based only on explanations. The demo helped a lot and everyone can have their own light for less than the one! Much appreciated
Thanks for posting your video. I ordered the AloneFire and received it yesterday. A third of the rocks I've collected fluoresce. Your video was very helpful and very well done. Thanks!
We started finding sodalite in 2005 in the Keweenaw, long before the "fad" started. We would find hundreds of them each night. Of all the different UV lights we used over the years, the S3 Lumenshooters we bought for $30 each are the favorite one to use.
One of the best reviews I've seen. Great job.
Thank you!!! Exactly the representation that I needed 😍
Just ordered the Alonefire because of your video. Thank you!
I'm ordering Alonefire based on your video thanks! My first UV light!
Glad I could help!
Totally worth my time thanks for making this video ‼️
This helped me find A good reference Light to compare from.
Great Video.
Such a good demo , thank you 👍👍
Thanks for your excellent review
I bought my firsst UV Flashlight a week ago from Amazon. I caught a scorpion awhile back under a roofing shingle laid on top of sand at my worksite. The night was cold and when I got to work it was under the shingle. i picked it up and it was passive because of the cold. This Light will help me locate more of them during a warm night. For my Needs I bought the Luminshooter S3 365nm UV flashlight.
My house never looked dirtier and cooler.
Thanks for the video. Much appreciated
Great video and advice, thanks👍
Great comparison thank you!
Thank you so much for the information.
Best review. It even made his shirt change colors! Awesome!
Thank you for noticing! lol
Thank you for your video! I’m starting with hunting rocks so im going to order the alone fire ❤
just ordered one today. thanks.
YEEEEEAAAAASSSSS THANK YOOOOUUUU!!!!! I need a cheap light, i just bought my fiancee 20 of these. Thank you soooo much!!!
Thanks for an excellent video! I'm thinking about checking out several Lake Superior beaches for rocks next summer. I'll be in Minnesota and so was going to look there. I've seen several people suggest Grand Marias and recently figured out that there are places on the lake called Grand Marias in both Minnesota and Michigan. Which one are you recommending?
thank you so much for this video
thx... just ordered your recommendation! from Duluth...
Thank you for this! Heading up to the U.P. in about a month, and wanted to replace my old uv flashlights with something better. I almost pulled the trigger on a C8 convoy, but I will be giving the alonefire a go.
I own two Alonefire flashlights, and they are pretty good!
Great video! Thanks! Very well explained. I have a question though, what's the difference between the Alonefire SV18 12w and the Alonefire SV47 12w? They seem pretty similar. Which one is best?
They are pretty similar - I think it came down to a leash vs no leash and a slightly different body.
Hello, very nice information and thanks for it.
a question do you recommended 30w alonefire?
I just posted a new video about this!
Saved me some money, thanks!
Great, Thanks exactly what I was looking for! will use your link.
Thank you very much!
Two questions. First why under 25 pounds? Is there a regulation i don't know about?
Second: what lights do you use to display the fluorescence at home?
So ...my research ends. Lol Just ordered Alonefire. Fantastic comparison and easy to understand. Thank you!
Here's the thing with the Harbor Freight one it's geared towards leak finding and refrigeration systems so that UV dye is the color of yellow highlighter you do not need to use a UV flashlight to find it either you can use a blue LED and the dials full glow I own a true UV flashlight it also works for finding leaks in the refrigeration systems
Great video. I plan to purchase the alonefire flashlights you talked about for myself but I was wondering if you have any advice for trying the alonefire mini for a couple of kiddos? It is the sv62 model. I don't mind if it's not the best but I'd like them to be able to find one if they did put in the effort. Thanks for any advice!
I never tried that one - but the company makes good lights that I am overall pleased with - I dont think you can go wrong for the price point of some of these.
I have the alonefire h46uv it's excellent cost $85 very happy with it
great video thanks!
In the video you say that you never "have" to take the battery out of the Alone Fire to charge it. But CAN you take it out? When the batteries get low I want to be able to instantly switch them out with fully charged backup batteries, not stop and wait hours for built in batteries to recharge. So again I ask, is the battery in the Alone Fire removable or is it built in? What's the situation with the batteries and recharging with the other lights that you demo? Thank you so much. AWESOME VIDEO!
The battery of alonefire is removable. Plus if you can buy type c to type c cord you can charge your phone. You're welcome. 😉
Thanks super helpful
I will be returning the firebright flashlight because it makes other rocks fluoresce besides the yooperlight. So when I look down all the rocks are orange containing iron.
It just depends on the composition of the rocks where you are. I dont notice Iron fluorescing - I do notice some quartz, limestone and fossils do it though.
What a great review!! Can you please give your review on all the Alonefires you bought? I am getting ready to purchase one and need to make sure the other ones you purchased are not any better than the SV18. You can reply with your favorite as well!! Thank you!!!
I just posted a new video about this!
I was feeling anxious not knowing where to start. It took a minute but I finally found your channel. Thank you so very much!
If you put the flashlight behind the rock and shine one side can you see the opposite side light up??
No, it isnt translucent.
I grabbed the Lumenshooter only because it was cheaper than the Alonefire last night. Seem to be essentially the same light. I’d be interested to see if the components were identical. It doesn’t seem to make sense that there are many different factories producing these lights that are all Chinese made.
Not sure -but I would agree that there are multiple companies who make similar if not identical lights.
Excellent video. You have me sold on the alonefire. Have you done any comparison of the different Alonefire light models? They have so many different sizes and wattage.
Yes I did - and I filmed it about 2 months ago - it's probably 15 minutes in length - I just haven't posted it yet!
@@TheNawrockSTAR Definitely want to check it out... looking to buy something this week as I just bought a fluorite! It's very confusing with all of these one led or three LED models. Would you say the main difference is the width of beam versus throw distance? All of the vendor videos seem about the same brightness. Some reviews on the three LED ones claim overheating or dimming along with people saying the wattage claims are not realistic. That would lead me to a one led model. Also just found that newer ones are on aliexpress that haven't hit amazon yet SV83 (triple), SV72 (dual white uv), SV61 (single).
@NawrockSTAR Do you still have the video compairing the alone fire lights? Seriously enjoyed this video while i'm trying to find my first uv flashlight.
I just posted the new review!
@@TheNawrockSTAR… you are THE MAN!!
What do you use these rocks for
I'm in Australia how do i get hold of Yooperlights
Helpful review but I don't know how you can make a judgement against the Convoy C8 if you have no experience with it.
I like the Lumenshooter as the beam appread to be of a very good quality. Also, the Alone Fire, has the shortcoming of not being able to keep hunting due to not being able to simply switchout batteries.
I will publish a new video - I bought the C8 and also a handful of other lights in the past 6 months to demo and review - I stand by my original review of the Alonefire light - it's the best bang for the buck.
@@TheNawrockSTAR okay, great!👍
@@TheNawrockSTAR How can I get such a light?
Yowww bbrrooo exellent video brroo rellay well ✔ 👍
I have a question please , does the alonefire flash light LED is naturaly producing 365nm light or it is 395nm with strong filter of 365nm , am afraid to buy it tbh , i have convoy s2 uv with 365 nm LED like it emits this wavelength directly without filter is alone fitr like that
Thaannkkk youuuu my brroooooo
I dont know the exact answer, however the black filter is supposed to help with unwanted spectrums which are of different wavelengths.
A good review if you are searching for rocks in your apartment. How do they work in the field? I'm not a supporter of UVBeast but other reviews talk about how much throw it has which can be important if you are out walking in a field or on a beach full of rocks. My understanding is that it can catch colours at a distance to make you pay attention to certain rocks. Or for those who want it for insects (or worse scorpions) then you can see the critters at a further distance.
Just bought a yooperlite crystal carving . I would like to get a bar light to display it under. Do you have any recommendations for best bar light?
I’d like some guidance on this as well… temporarily have a uv black light in a bedside table spotlight lamp but it only glows where the light is pointing, it’s not reaching all sides at the same time 😢
Not yet - I havent gotten to that stage for displaying them yet but its a good question!
Best UV Light Review on RUclips!
Thanks!
Hi on the alonefire uv how is the run time per charge, and what type of battery does it take. Thanks
It lasts over 4 hours!
It’s the sv47 12watt one correct? Thanks
I like all shirts that you have 😂😂💙💛
Alonefire on Amazon states it reduces power by more than 60% after 3 minutes of use, is this true? What good is it going to be after that? 3 minutes doesn't give much time to do anything...
I have gotten over 4 hours of continuous use out of it and I do not seem to notice any noticeable drop in lumen output.
What nanometer wavelength makes skin appear blue, instead of purple ? Thanks
The closer it gets to 350nm or so the more clear it will become.... in fact, when it gets below 350nm it almost disappears as it turns into the infrared spectrum
What's up with the "all of these are under 24.99 lbs so I'm comfortable showing you" statement? Genuinely curious if it's something I should know being new to the hobby
no idea whats up with the dislikes, but great video
I bet your shirts glow under ANY light! :)
Here's what you failed to say. UVBeast is an aluminum body and a metal UV cavity lamps internal polished cup. It's the quality. I'd like you to put the two Beast and the $30 one you liked throw them in a bag and tote them to the outside caverns rock hunting. In a couple years that $80 UVBeast will hold up and your $30 will show its shortcomings. Impressive talk on the surface
I dont know if we are disagreeing - but the Alone fire is all aluminum also, and the internals are stout. I have logged hundreds of hours of searching, dropping, water droplets, raining, cold, rolling around in my car, etc with these things - they are Beasts by them selves... I am going on 3 years with my original one.... and it was less than half the price.
@TheNawrockSTAR we agree to favor different UV sources. Only friendly argument I have is price.. I'm sure we both know the country that manufacturers probably both, so why the grand difference at the wallet level. IDK
My research ends here.. thank you
How long does each work? If the more expensive lasts for 4 hours and it comes with two batteries, that is pretty good. If the less expensive only last for say two hours and you cannot change the battery, that is not so good. Most people I talk to say you want to be able to search for about 4 hours. I want one that will last that long or at least give me the option to insert a fresh battery and prolong my searching.
I have gotten over 4 hours of continuous use out of it!
Thanks so much.
I don't know enough English
ornamental and precious stones; It will be used to see the fluorescence effect; The best. UVL Light source. ; There will be a flashlight
of light. Should the color be Black and what should be the wavelength of the light?
short-wave
long wave
sample Picture or video. can be brand
thanks
Nobody talking about how the man can quick change his shirt without people noticing... 👀
Yes.... finally someone noticed... I do the same thing in most of my videos as like an easter egg. lol.
@@TheNawrockSTAR Do I win a cookie?
Is there a version of this review where the audio doesn't cut out after the first 5 mins? I have no idea which lights were which during the demo segment.
I just posted a new review!
My research ends here… Thank you
Thanks, you saved me about $40. I suspect the uv beast travels straighter/farther, but that only matters when you get beyond 15ft, so who cares? i'm going to go with alonefre and decide what power level i want.
Correct, its more concentrated beam, but most of my findings are within 5-10 feet and the wider the beam the better my luck at finding them!
So from my understanding, the UVbeast is advertising better reach over the others. A distance test would have brought your video to a better conclusion in my opinion. How do all the lights you have in this video hold up to 60ft, as the UVBeast claims reach? May be why the UVBeast is priced at $79.. Just sayin.
I do not search 60ft ahead - nor do I know anyone who looks that far ahead. Most of our finds are within 5-10 feet and the wider throw of the flood light is a better application for this range than the narrow spot. Just my opinion - but I do realllllllllly well when my buddies and I are out on the beaches. Either way - I couldn't film 60 feet in my apartment regardless.
Can we identify diamonds with it, please help
I dont think so - they are solidified carbon and not fluorescent.
You may be surprised to know more intense to show up under 254nm UV short wave.
You are right, but buying something in a lower frequency band is not an easy task. Thats why most of the lights are 395nm - although 365nm is much better than that at least.
Thanks for explaining the difference between the lights, but you really did a lot of repeating. I did give you a thumbs up.
👍👍👍👍👍🙂
Why is it important the rocks be under 24.99 pounds?
Its a Michigan law.... womp wahhh
Ya well you can go cheep or get a uv beast and have a life long true 365 and see Invisible, ink and paint or go cheap and it won't really work. And break in a cuppel years. You should also go to a vape shop and get a quality 1860 battery from home. Life or Sony just saying
Well, given the fact that I purchased, used and reviewed about 10 different lights over the course of about 2 years, I would say that I have a valid leg to stand on for my reviews. And, by all means, make your own video reviews and publish them to RUclips, or simply disregard what I say. At the end of the day don't get your feelers hurt and instead just buy whatever you want, bromigo.
Nope UV beast is definitely brighter overall in the overall spectrum throughout the whole screen.
Strong Disagree. I have empirical evidence to prove it.
No uv beast is more quality and more direct and briter
Strong Disagree. I have empirical evidence to prove it.
John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".
If you vaped you know better on batteries your so off
Do you even vape, bro? At the end of the day don't get your feelers hurt and instead just buy whatever you want, bromigo. I have over 1000 hours of hiking and walking around with these lights to prove my dedication to the hobby.
Soon, there is going to be the rapture. It's when there will be trumpet sounds, and after the trumpet sounds, God will lift his people from here. Also, God said people should be living by the Bible. Amen, and God bless you.
Please dont waste time opening boxes!!!! I could cry. Everyone spends 10 minutes opening boxes...
Next THROW... THROW IS SOOOOO IMPORTANT WHEN LOOKING FOR THESE ROCKS!!! MORE THROW, HIGHER COST!!!
YOU WANT A BRIGHT LIGHT WITH AT LEAST 300' OF THROW!!! CHEEPER LIGHTS JUST DONT NORMALLY HAVE THE BRITENESS OR THROW.... NEXT: BATTERY LIFE!!!! GOT TO HAVE A BATTERY THAT HOLD THE STRENGTH OF THE LIGHT LONGER THAN 20 MINUTES OR HALF HOUR!!! IT TAKES ALOT OF TIME FINDING THESE ROCKS!!! UNLESS YOU WANNA CARRY AROUND A BAG OF FLASH LIGHTS OR BATTERYS YOU NEED AN ALL AROUND QUALITY LIGHT!!! ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY goes to Lake Superior knows this!!!
Cheep lights are NOT quality lights!!!! None that i have found, and i spend alot of time on Superior!!!!
4 feet away for lights and rocks just doesn't work!!!!
Ya gotta know where to go to find one!!! And you are going to trip on every rock and stick or log you are constantly going to trip on. Need white light and good brite 365nm UV light.
CA convoy and beast are truely very good lights. Convoy better, thats why its hard to find on amazon... everyone buys them!!!!
I've found monsters out there with these things. I also bought the Convoy C8, UV Beast and 3 new ones from Alonefire.... I am very well versed in appropriate UV lights.... I stand by my review.
