    Comments about Inova X5 UV Flashlight:

    I enjoyed using this light to explore the world of ultraviolent fluorescence. Find out all the materials around the home or office that fluoresce! You will be amazed. Not all are body fluids! Buy some invisible UV ink (Noodler's Blue Ghost) and keep your passwords recorded and secret. Make notations in books without hurting their collector's value. Mark collectables with your name for recovery of stolen items. Lots more. Long battery life. This flashlight is ultra robust, provides a very nice even illumination more like a flood pattern than most flashlights. Some insects and arachnids fluoresce; minerals; molds & fungi. This is a little expensive, but I love mine.

    Comments about Inova X5 UV Flashlight:

    I love using this ultraviolet flashlight (blacklight). You can get invisible ink (Noodler's Blue Ghost) and use it in a fountain pen, dip pen, or fill a cartridge felt pen. put your passwords down and they can only be seen under the UV light. Mark property, books, notes in the margins. Note that this is not a titanium flashlight, it is high quality aluminum alloy annodized a titanium color. The light is ultra strong, a simple twist-on or push button switch. Stainless steel head with 5 led's giving a flood effect that is very effective. I love to use this light at night exploring and finding things in nature that fluoresce, like molds, fungus', insects, minerals.
