SiGi UV 395nm Ultraviolet Light Multi Functions LED Flashlight

Ok, I had NO IDEA how well these worked!!!! We have had a scorpion problem in our home, here in Kingman, AZ, for quite some time. When I got stung in my bed at 3 a.m., I invested in tons of bug spray, and this flashlight.

The type of scorpion we have here is the "bark scorpion", and BOY DO THEY GLOW when this light hits them. I could see them from across the yard! A good 20 feet away!!!! I feel safer with this light than I do in the daytime! I'm totally freaked out now, because we found scorpions all over the foundation of our house, crawling in-and-out underneath the stucco. We killed at least 15 the first night!!!! We also found a little one inside the house.

I'm writing this review, because I don't think I'll sleep tonight :(. I would highly recommend this light. It's like a spotlight! It's totally my new favorite toy!!!

This thing is so good. It shows every single stain over the years where our dog peed when he was a puppy and still having accidents on the carpet. We thought we cleaned but you can clearly see all the spots. It also shows where dust is hiding that you don't even see when the lights are on. So in conclusion, this UV light is almost too good. It shines brightly over a large area at least 6 feet away. Now I can never lie on the carpet again cause i know where all the invisible stains are. They should sell this as a bundle with a carpet steam cleaner. Ordering two more as gifts. Haha!

I loaded this up with batteries as soon as I got it and in daylight (inside of course) took it out to where I know that one of the 3 cats in the house had wet before. I had no idea what the horror that I was about to discover.

As I swept the bluish-purple beam across the carpet and along the baseboards, what was reflected back to me in brilliant white was a story of struggle, of frustration, a fight for dominance and standing, a battlefield of stains and sprayings. The 3 little kitties act nice and purr and softly meow with one another when we're around, but buried deep within each of their dark, furry little hearts must lurk a dark force that compels them to out spray each other. Either that or they are all colluding against me; peeing on the walls and carpet when I'm not looking, even though they go out 5x a day and have 2 litterboxes in the house.

The good news is that this flashlight is a secret weapon for humans to fight back. I've started stalking the halls and their favorite marking spots with my water gun which I use to generously douse any cat who so much as hesitates in his or her passage through the hallway. I bought some enzymatic cleaner that breaks down the urine stains and erases all trace of their work.

My sudden advantage of knowing exactly where everything was happening, coupled with the super soaker, it has completely thrown the cats into a state of confusion. They don't know HOW I know, but they know that I know, and they no longer pee anywhere that I can find. I'm in charge now!

This flashlight truly tips the odds in your favor!

I originally purchased this to go along with my halloween costume as I was an agent from CSI. But, one day my husband and I decided it would be fun to go around our house with the light to see what we would find. We aren't the original owners of the house and it has been passed down a few times. The 1/2 bath that our guests needed to be bombed and re-built, the walls had some interesting splatters on them and our upstairs carpet (which is original to the house) was a bunch of small stains that have melded together to create one huge glowing monster stain. Needless to say, I ran out the next day and doused our house in bleach and we will be replacing the upstairs carpet soon! Beware: purchase this at your own risk knowing that you may want to gut your house! lol!

This flashlight should come with a warning advising us that we "may" need to stock up on cleaning supplies and have a few extra hours set aside for addressing the interesting little things which we "may" find the first time we use it. What has been seen cannot be unseen — in my own "clean" house I was amazed and appalled to find far too many little invisible-to-the-naked-eye specks, splatters, and streaks. Ugh.

The flashlight takes 3 standard AA batteries. They were easy to install.
The on/off button is located on the side where it is comfortably within thumb reach.

If you have teenagers, plan accordingly. Privileges are earned.
I did not in any manner receive any compensation whatsoever for this review. Unfortunately.

At first this light worked great, but after only a few time using it it has become significantlyrics dim. We're using lithium batteries which typically last a very long long time and since this is an LED light that in and of itself should make it less power hungry. Well, it's very power hungry! However, if you don't mind changing the batteries often, its a great little light and does what it's supposed to do.
After my 1st review of 3 stars, Escolote contacted me and let me know they are aware of the power hungry issue and they are working to correct it. Because they contacted me and let me know what was they were up to and aware of the problem I added a star. The light does do what it's advertised to do, and it is easy to change the batteries.

I've used this for finding scorpions in the dark and found it very effective. They glow bright green and can be seen from a good 5m or so away.

Have you ever wanted to look around your house like they do on CSI then this light is for you. If you're a germaphobe you might not want to purchase this light as it will show you all the nastiness that you can't even imagine. If you want to get your kids to clean their bathrooms this is a perfect tool for that. I personally would never take this to a hotel room if you ever plan on traveling again in your entire life. Works well, battery last long, and it's fun to gross out your wife and kids.

Un peu déçu car je m’attendais à un peu plus performant, je l’ai acheté car mon chat fait des marquages urinaires dans la maison. Malheureusement il faut être très très près pour le voir avec la lampe.. mais après c’est pas très cher et ça marche quand même pour les traces d’urine dans la salle d’eau et surtout autour des toilettes

For this price this is a great unit. You will be thoroughly disgusted if you turn out the lights and look at your carpet with it.I use for viewing mineral works great
