Lepro LE UV Torch 395 nm UV flashlight

This compact UV torch reveals hidden stains and markings so you can spot pet urine, scorpions and fluorescent security features with minimal fuss. Lightweight and pocketable, it is useful for quick home checks and carrying on trips where a small black light detector for pet urine or bed bugs is handy.

Key Points

The torch is built from aluminium alloy and measures around 3 cm in diameter and 9.4 cm in length, making it comfortable to hold and easy to store. It uses nine LEDs that emit near-UV light at 395 nm, which helps bring out biological stains and certain fluorescent inks. A single push-button operation makes it straightforward to use, and a wrist strap adds convenience for handheld work. ⚫🐾

Small and robust, the body is described as scratch and fade resistant according to the manufacturer. The unit is rated IPX4 so it can withstand splashes and light rain, but avoid submerging it. The package includes three AAA batteries so the torch is ready to use straight away.

Usage Recommendations

For best results, use the torch in darkened conditions and allow your eyes a moment to adapt to the lower light. Move the lamp slowly across carpets, upholstery and corners of rooms to reveal urine stains and dried biological marks that fluoresce under near-UV light. When inspecting documents or banknotes look for fluorescent security features rather than relying on this tool as the sole method of authentication. 🔎

Note that detection depends on the nature and age of the stain and on ambient lighting, so some marks may not show clearly. Battery life will vary with use and the quality of batteries, and the IPX4 rating means the torch resists splashes but should not be submerged or exposed to heavy rain.
