MAXELL UV LED 2×AA, Blue, Flashlight

The MAXELL UV LED Flashlight, Blue, 2×AA is an ultraviolet LED flashlight designed for close-range inspection tasks such as geocaching, residue detection, fly tying, and authenticity checks. It uses a single UV LED to emit ultraviolet light rather than visible white light, making it suited to situations where fluorescence detection is required. No lumen output or beam distance figures are specified by the manufacturer, which is common for UV lights, where the value lies in wavelength rather than brightness. The housing is a blue aluminium cylinder measuring 190 mm in length and 36 mm in width and depth.

Build quality consists of a lightweight aluminium body rated IP44, which protects against solid objects over 1 mm and splashing water but does not make the flashlight fully waterproof. It is shockproof and designed to withstand drops from heights of up to 1 metre. Power comes from two AA batteries, which are included in the box, so the light is ready to use immediately. At 153 g, the flashlight is light enough for pocket or pack carry during outdoor activities. The unit is not rechargeable and has no USB charging port, running solely on the replaceable AA cells.
