Straight to the point!!! Wonderful and refreshing. Too many videos on utube that people just love hearing themselves talk or spend half the video on opening boxes!!!! Nuts, crazy, not helpful or useful . But this video gets right to answering the question.
Thank you! I have a pretty extensive rock collection now and I've always been fascinated by uv reactive stones! Some are even phosphorescent, meaning they hold the light for a moment and glow after the light is off! Nature is so cool!
I will have to share one day. I've actually had several people ask but it feels so off the wall for a homesteading channel. 🤣 Thank you s much for stopping by and watching!
Muy agradecido con tu vídeo, no sabía la diferencia entre 365 y 395, lo quiero para destellar minerales como el ámbar, con tu vídeo ya se que lámpara adquirir.
If you have too much visible purple or ghastly green light from the 365nm LED, I would suggest to look at some Wood's glass filter, and ZWB2 is probably a decent and cheaper option, and I used it with Nichia NVSU233A-U365 LED in my custom Convoy S2 flashlight, just something to note especially when you DIY yours. It helps to get rid of any junk light, passing only 365nm center spectrum to make the fluorescence a bit more obvious. Neat rocks too, something I want to check out at some point now that I have a decent blacklight flashlight.
You're welcome! Thanks for uploading! It helped me put together a very nice gift set of some of these stones for my niece, along with an inexpensive filtered UV flashlight and safety goggles! She was thrilled!
Wow I didn't know those lights were so powerful. Thank you papilea'🦋 and friend for sharing this. Have a great rest of today and a very happy and healthy blessed coming sunday my friend.
I've never used them for fishing so I can't be absolutely sure but I would definitely with a higher wattage so that it's bright enough for longer distance while fishing.
@@johngaspar4425 My favorite 365nm flashlight is the Alonefire 10 watt. I checked and I don't see where they make a headlamp so I can't be of any help there.
Using any UV light for extended periods of time can be bad for your eyes. It's often suggested to wear sunglasses if you're out at night hunting for fluorescent rocks for extended periods of time. I don't start directly at my flashlight but I haven't experienced any issues using a 10 watt for fun viewing my fluorescent rock collection for short periods of time either. I hope that answers your question!
These stones are from all over the world actually. Those shown in this video are fluorescent sodalite from Michigan, USA. Botryoidal chalcedony trancas geode from Chihuahua, Mexico. The pink calcite is from Pakistan and the cubic fluorite is from China. 😊
They're usually less expensive so I'm assuming they're also cheaper to produce. There are also other uses for them other than enjoying our lovely rocks and not everyone requires the same spectrum. For example, if you're looking for stains on carpet, you don't need anything special for those to show. Thank you for watching!
I am looking for something that shows up under 395nm. If I use 365nm then alot other material/minerals glows similar. But under 395nm only the one I am looking for shows up, then easy to identify. But normally when looking for/at rocks then 365nm is best 😊👍
At least for fluorescent rocks, yes. You will be able to see far more with the 365nm. I've been really happy with the Alonefire SV003 365nm flashlight (not affiliated, lol). That's the light I used in the video. It works well, the battery is rechargeable, and the price is reasonable!

Wow, never seen fluorescent rocks before in my life. Those are cool 😍😮

Yooperlites!
Very cool! I didn't know there were fluorescent rocks! 😊👍
Yes, there's quite a lot actually! 😊
~Straight to the point!
Wow 😳 what a difference. Beautiful 😍
Thank you! I find fluorescent stones so cool!
@@DiggingForHealth yes I have not seen one in awhile
Very awesome. I would love to see your rock collection.
I will have to share one day. I've actually had several people ask but it feels so off the wall for a homesteading channel. 🤣

thank you so much !!

Thanhks for video!
Thank you for watching!
Very nice video 👍
Thank you very much!
No, YOU'RE the Best!
Wow! I didn't expect such an extreme difference. What stones are in this video?
Fluorescent sodalite (aka yooperlite), calcite, fluorite, and Trancas geode. 😊 Thank you for watching!

What is more useful in fishing? 365nm or 395 nanometers? I want to charge artificial baits for squid fishing.
I've never used them for fishing so I can't be absolutely sure but I would definitely with a higher wattage so that it's bright enough for longer distance while fishing.
Thanks for this demo. So 365mm is better to find stains, would that be right?
When it comes to stains I think both would work well for you. Just get one that is bright enough for your needs. 😊
@@DiggingForHealth Thanks. I'm looking for a headlamp solution so I can have my hands free. Do you know of a haedlamp Uv you can recommend?
@@johngaspar4425 My favorite 365nm flashlight is the Alonefire 10 watt. I checked and I don't see where they make a headlamp so I can't be of any help there.
@@DiggingForHealth Thanks for you help.
@@johngaspar4425 Anytime!
Hey mate had a question, is the 365nm 10 watt bad for your eyes?
Using any UV light for extended periods of time can be bad for your eyes. It's often suggested to wear sunglasses if you're out at night hunting for fluorescent rocks for extended periods of time. I don't start directly at my flashlight but I haven't experienced any issues using a 10 watt for fun viewing my fluorescent rock collection for short periods of time either. I hope that answers your question!
@@DiggingForHealth Thanks a lot buddy for the advice appreciate it :)
Why do ppl use red, yellow and green lights on minerals? Serious newb here
It's a UV light. The colors come from the fluorescence of the stones. 😊
for license what nm. i have to use. 365 or 395 ??
I'm not sure I understand the question? I've never used a uv light on my license.
that whistling spooks the crap out of me.
The whistling in the music? lol! I'll keep that in mind for future videos. 😅
Where do you go searching for them? I think i should watch your other videos first.
These stones are from all over the world actually. Those shown in this video are fluorescent sodalite from Michigan, USA. Botryoidal chalcedony trancas geode from Chihuahua, Mexico. The pink calcite is from Pakistan and the cubic fluorite is from China. 😊
@@DiggingForHealth oh wow, quite a collection you've got .
how many watts is the flashlight?
10 watt
What's the use of 395nm then?, why does anyone even make the 395nm when 365nm is where the Fluorescence is at?
They're usually less expensive so I'm assuming they're also cheaper to produce. There are also other uses for them other than enjoying our lovely rocks and not everyone requires the same spectrum. For example, if you're looking for stains on carpet, you don't need anything special for those to show. Thank you for watching!
@@DiggingForHealth Can't the 365nm detect stains on a carpet as well as the 395nm?
@@SodiumSyndicate Yes, it can.
I am looking for something that shows up under 395nm. If I use 365nm then alot other material/minerals glows similar. But under 395nm only the one I am looking for shows up, then easy to identify.
But normally when looking for/at rocks then 365nm is best 😊👍
so 365 is better

Agree, 365nm UV has more energy than 395nm and produce more Fluorescence effect.
@@DiggingForHealth about to buy this price is reasonable
@@smifnwess93 Awesome! It's still my favorite UV flashlight! I think you'll be very happy with the Alonefire! 😊
Does this emit minimal white light?? Can you suggest the model name of 365nm uv led please
