Little_Flatty Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 UV Torches? There haven't been any in the ones I have used! I won't ask the brand lest all the fishos out there put even more pressure on stocks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volitan Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) The Hough RAT kit we bought for $50 from Coles has a small UV torch inside. It’s this one - in the first photo https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/7568901/expediency-not-health-advice-has-dictated-covid-policy/ Edited January 6, 2022 by Volitan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankS Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Wonder if these little torches would do the job. It's a Bondic glue UV light. I haven't got any squid jigs but have a torch. As for the glue it's NOT what the ADD says but is handy for non critical repairs like mending cracked bibs on lures etc. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this write up a while ago when I was looking into UV torches.... same purpose Frank ... curing polymer glue which I also found a bit hit an miss - works well on somethings and pretty ho hum on others. Based on the write up below, the RAT torch seems to be operating at 270-360nm and the glue torch 300-365nm ... I think there is sufficient overlap for it to work recharging lumo .... guess its worth a try. ------------ This is how UV (Blacklight) wavelengths usually work: 230~400 nm: Optical sensors, various instrumentation 240~280 nm: Disinfection, decontamination of surfaces and water (DNA absorption has a peak at 260 nm) 200~400 nm: Forensic analysis, drug detection 270~360 nm: Protein analysis, DNA sequencing, drug discovery 280~400 nm: Medical imaging of cells 300~320 nm: Light therapy in medicine 300~365 nm: Curing of polymers and printer inks 300~400 nm: Solid-state lighting 350~370 nm: Bug zappers (flies are most attracted to light at 365 nm). Uses for the 365nM wavelength torch: urine detection faint traces of fungus mould detection leak detection in refrigerants gemstone excitation portable EPROM eraser detecting head lice eggs forensics, criminology water pollution detection security inks archaeology chemical probe testing, chemistry biology money checking, credit card checking food checking medical applications Antique glass (uranium glass, vasceline glass) Forged document detection A/C coolant leak detection (using dye) Carpet inspection Bathroom inspection Arson Investigation Semen Hotel room inspection Mineral Hunting (diamonds, etc.) Salmonella and Shigella bacteria detection Contaminate inspection (clean environment) Drivers licence UV markings Dye penetrant inspection (NDI/NDT) Magnetic surface analysis ATTENTION – CAUTION Danger ! Eye damage guaranteed from careless use.These LEDs are manufactured to be almost invisible to the naked eye. It is made for a specific purpose and should not be used by children or people unauthorised by you the tradesman. Invisible UV is particularly dangerous to the human eye because it cannot detect that damage is being done. ----------------- Cheers Zoran 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
