Using UV Light
The current uvBeast models emit ultraviolet light in the
following wavelengths (measured in nanometers). 385-
395nm and 365nm, depending upon your model.
Visible light is at around 400nm and above to the infrared
spectrum.
Getting Best Results
Different substances will fluoresce (“shine”) at different UV
intensities. Whether you had domestic or commercial applications
in mind, the principle is “the darker the conditions the better” to
unleash the full power of the uvBeast. However, that sometimes
isn’t always possible nor practical (to achieve darkness) so you’ll
still get a decent 4-6ft beam range in ambient light conditions.
TIP – Scan a general area first to illuminate, and then shine closer to
investigate & spot.
Sometimes, in ambient light, you may need to go closer,
depending upon the fluorescence intensity of the substance
investigated. (Scorpions are the exception. At night/dull
conditions, boy do they glow electric blue/green – except
from very young ones and also adults if they just molted their
skin.
What Can the uvBeast Be Used for?
Whether your needs are commercial or domestic uvBeast will
not disappoint. You’ll save time, effort, and money with those
sanitization jobs, looking for otherwise invisible fluorescence,
or just about any other UV task you have in mind.
As an example of the benefits of UV, rather than clean an
entire area “just in case”, now you can pin-point and spot-treat
the specific area. Without UV light, stains are difficult to spot
or are invisible. Now, those stains will glow bright. Among
other applications that require UV light, uvBeast is especially
designed (but not limited to) to fluoresce or react with the
following:
Gems, Rocks, and Minerals (items such as rubies,
diamonds, yooperlite, opal, etc.)
