For sunglasses and ballistic glasses test I was using the 395UV light. If it says that lenses have UV protection, then they should protect from the whole UV spectrum. If you see that lenses let some UV light to pass through it's unsafe to wear such glasses/sunglasses.
395nm LEDs are very affordable. If you only need them for glue and paint curing, why pay more for 365nm? From what I can see, most UV flashlight manufacturers have already started to shift towards 365nm LEDs. If you're looking for a universal solution, 365nm would be the best choice.
@@ElectronicsComputers actually what I meant is if I put some uranium glass inside a cabinet with UV light inside of said cabinet, and coat the cabinet's glass door with 400nm UV filter foil, will I be able to observe thru the filter the uranium green fluorescence without the UV light leaking to the outside? If it was possible, I could use some really strong UV light and get the uranium glass to glow really bright without any UV associated risks for an observer.
@@Sven745 As I mentioned earlier, UV filters won’t affect fluorescence in any way. When you look through the filter on uranium glass, it significantly reduces the barely visible purple light compared to looking at it without any filters. What you're trying to do is similar to techniques used in aquariums and other applications, so it's not that uncommon. You may need something like this: alii.pub/6xdciv
For scorpions, a 365nm UV flashlight is the way to go. It illuminates them clearly, but keep in mind that like most UV flashlights, it won’t make scorpions visible from long distances. You’ll need to be much closer-typically within a few feet (1-2 meters) -to spot them effectively.
Between 365 nm and 395 nm UV flashlights, the 365 nm is more effective because it produces less visible light, making the UV dye stand out better. But I guess you know that, UV dye is not typically included in HVAC systems by default, you need to add it specifically for leak detection, as refrigerants don’t fluoresce on their own.
Most UV resin are designed to be cured with 405nm light. The "photoinitiators" in these resins are specifically tuned to this wavelength, making the curing process more efficient and effective. So, I wouldn't use anything else other than 405nm UV light. The 395nm UV light should still be able to trigger the curing process.
It's quite the opposite actually! A higher wavelength means a lower frequency and less energy, not more. The energy of UV light increases as the wavelength decreases. Thus, 280 nm is actually a lower wavelength (within the UV-B range, 280-320 nm), and it is more damaging because shorter wavelengths carry more energy.
@VIProach UV light ranges from about 100 nm to 400 nm. Also, shorter wavelengths of UV light are more dangerous. For example, UV radiation in the 280-320 nm range is the one that gives you cancer. A UV flashlight with a wavelength of 365 nm would generally be a better choice.
@hitodium For detecting fungi, a wavelength of 365 nanometers is generally better. This wavelength is closer to the UV range that causes certain fungi to fluoresce, making them more visible. The 395 nanometer light is closer to visible light and may not be as effective for this purpose.
Since 365nm UV lights are used in forensics because they react with a wide range of substances that can potentially fluoresce under UV light, that's what you need. 395nm UV lights are good only for curing UV paint and glue.
The 395 nm UV LEDs were developed way before the 365 nm LEDs due to the relative ease of production. They were perfectly fine for UV glue and paint curing. Shorter wavelengths like 365 nm are more challenging to produce. 365 nm LEDs are considered superior because they emit UV light closer to the peak of UV-A range, which is more effective for a variety of uses including curing adhesives, medical applications, and forensic analysis.
Im looking to buy a uv light specifically for charging the glow in the dark phosphorescent paint i applied to the sights of my concealed carry. I know nothing about uv lights really but i want something that will make it glow the longest as the paint is reported to glow anywhere from 4-6 hours. Regular bright light takes far to long and isnt going to cut it if i need to recharge at night.
A UV light won’t ‘magically’ extend the glow duration beyond the natural limits of the phosphorescent paint. However, a good 365 nm UV flashlight will charge it quickly and effectively, giving you the maximum brightness and glow duration the paint can offer. If you’re looking for something that stays bright for long periods without needing recharging, you might want to consider tritium sights. Tritium emits a continuous glow without any external light source and typically lasts 10-12 years.
@ElectronicsComputers yea I have a db380, small little boot gun and I can't find tritium sights anywhere for it so figured I'd try this glow paint and wanted to get a good uv light to atleast be able to charge it on the go for the best results. Thanks for the help!
It's cheap, and if you just need it for curing UV glue and paint, then it's a pretty good option. But if you need a universal, all-purpose solution, then, of course, you need a 365nm UV flashlight.
Unknown to me, I almost bought the 395nm one to observe fluorescent stones but I decided to research more and discovered that they are a bad option for my use.

Hello brother, I need help with a problem with my Xbox Series xThe temperature rises about up to 58°C It caused me to tear up frames per second However, I disinfected it and replaced the thermal paste. I hope you can help me ❤.
Have you seen my video on how to do that the right way? When you remove the heatsink, it's important to replace the thermal putty or at least redistribute the old one so it can make proper contact with the heatsink. Otherwise, after removing the heatsink, there might be a small gap between the heatsink and the memory chips and other components.
@@ElectronicsComputers First, thanks for your response But I think that the temperature is supposed to be 54°C, the highest degree, and that is usually 22 or 23 degrees. The air conditioning operator and the device, the place I have is completely open and ventilated. My cousin and I changed the thermal paste. He is an appliance maintenance technician. We replaced the paste used with Noctua NT-H1. I think it is the paste. It was distributed in the correct way, but not for sure
@@Moscow12122 are you measuring the temperature on the heatsink? If so, 54°C is a pretty normal temperature. The APU and other components generate a lot of heat, and the heatsink absorbs all that heat. There's no way it will be 23°C; it's impossible. Just go play and enjoy your upgraded console. You did everything right.
@@ElectronicsComputersI mean to you, the temperature of the living room, not the cooling room, is 23°C. I measure it using a temperature sensor. The measurement was from the top of the fan, and the highest temperature I reached, I think, is 58.2°C from the fan at the top. Is this normal?
365nm UV Flashlight is often considered better for viewing diamonds and precious stones. The 365nm wavelength produces less visible violet light, so you can better see the fluorescence of the gems without interference from the flashlight's glow. It's ideal for professional inspections because it highlights the details more effectively.
While UV flashlights can sometimes reveal adulterants, they are not always foolproof and may not detect all types of cutting agents. However, in most cases, if you shine it on absolutely pure coke and the one that was cut with some substances, you'll definitely notice the difference. You have to use a 365nm flashlight with a black lens, just like in the video.
Thank you. I didn't know they were so different.

You should use a 365nm flashlight; the 395nm one is nearly useless for all applications.

If uv light is blocked by uv glasses, I wonder if the uv fluorescence effect is visible thru uv glasses / filters?
Yes, it's perfectly visible because UV light includes some visible light as well. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see that purple light at all.
