[@ThruNite]

GIVEAWAY CLOSED, Congratulations to Ricky McClenthen, Robert Ragland and jimmy joslin for winning the giveaway! Thanks to any who took part.

[@rickoneill4343]

That uv paper test you did is the best example to date I have seen to show capabilities. Great work.

[@keepitmellofam7057]

Thank you for making this video because i was really not sure which one to go for and now i know which one i should buy.

[@msabccbscnnoanfoxnews]

2:03 looking for fluorescent rocks at night. It would be nice to have a big UV throw.

[@lennarta4553]

Another instructive video from you Cutlerylover, thank you for that! In this case clearly ThruNite Archer UV wins, this was the most easy choice in this series so far.

[@Michael-Elo]

Nothing about the NM. Is any of them true UV at 365NM or only over 395NM?

[@marklindsey1995]

UV beast V3 has a 365nm version.

[@JSMCPN]

All of them looked like 395 to me. The circular halo around the area would have only been barely visible of it was 365

[@andrewcuriale3248]

Looking for golf balls on a golf course at night with a UV flashlight is like having cheat codes. if your into golf ball hunting. Therefore I’m looking for a uv flash light that is the brightest and one that has the most throw….

[@04mach1speed]

Definitely picking up the Archer UV. Thanks for the video

[@kevinmoore8780]

Thanks for the video. I can see where throw would have some advantage. For example in my yard I have flying squirrels which apparently glow under UV light so I'd need distance to see them in trees. Also if in snake country then having throw lets you see scorpions or other insects further back from rock pile and cliff faces so you don't have to go too close with just the UV light on. Especially if you have one of those lights that require you to get just inches above the item. And while I've never tried it, I wonder if throw would help with larger surveys. Some lichens glow differently under UV then could a more powerful light allow you to sweep over an area of ground and certain lichens stand out from many metres away?. Again I've not tried that but would like to. I know some people use these lights in their hotel rooms so I'm guessing the more throw the faster you can find out how gross your hotel room is.

[@ChaitanyaShukla2503]

I have been using Convoy UV light(probably the best value for money) with UV band pass filter for my purposes.

[@donaldstrader7241]

Thanks for the UV comparison video and the GAW chance.

[@Mdjagg]

Disc Golfers use UV lights for looking for discs on course at night, and you could imagine the further it can go the better. They also used to "charge" the discs before throwing.

[@MPHshoots]

This is why I’m watching these vids. Wish a UV channel would show tests using eclipse and Innova glow plastic

[@daemn42]

Yep, that's how I use mine. Most of my bag is bright orange/green/yellow discs that all fluores under UV so there are times I've lost a disc in the tall grass, bushes or under the trees during the daytime and I can come back at night and find my disc in short order. I use the Beast. I checked in here, to find out if there is anything brighter.. Apparently not.

[@L0st-n0found]

Also a filter is exceedingly important to cut down on the visible light and make what you are using uv for more visable. Like turn on your projector to watch a good movie then turn on your most powerful flashlight and point at screen... Hard to see screen. I will probably order because it's thrunight and its cheap but all uv lights should have a viable light filter

[@dannycipriano5093]

Thrunite hands down is my best EDC flashlight!

[@FAMOUSSLICKRICK]

Yes I agree. It’s my favorite too. Compact and very bright light. 🔦

[@FeedYourHeadTV]

Great video thank you! Would also love more info on UV flashlights, maybe a part 2 to include what some others have commented on? 395 vs 365...filters... please and thank you. We look for California Millipedes, mushrooms, rocks...anything in nature that glows!

[@defan2105]

I'm most impressed with the Thrunite Archer UV but I'm not sure what I could use it for unless I'm hunting and it would help track the blood of a wounded animal? Best of luck to any of you who wins and, if you can, maybe let us know what you end up using your knew light for.

[@franciscr80]

With this video it is clear that Ultraviolet lights are not all the same. thanks for the video! good job.

[@TheOgi22]

Hello. Please, what model is the zoomable DarkBeam?

[@ROPname]

real cool showing of what the market has to offer in terms of UV portable lights. real useful. definitely need to get a flashlight with UV included next time.

[@petermogish6883]

Good for scorpion hunting! Do all of these lights emit the same wavelength of UV? Hope to see some "short wave" UV (UV-C) LEDs in lights one of these days. UV-C if good to sterilize surfaces, or water; And for rock collecting. These lights are probably lower energy UV-B?

[@darcyk5548]

UV-C is literally ionizing radiation and will absolutely mess you up. There's no practical use for it outside of laboratory settings.

[@user-wr6wo6vr8r]

Had the Nitecore tiki uv not come out at this point yet? There’s the uv version with a primary uv emitter on top that works so much better then this model.

[@kchaney56]

You need the throw to detect fluids.

[@gregmiller628]

As usual, ThruNite rocks! It might be interesting to try a UV light.

[@HBARCARteam]

I've got a custom car that's airbrushed with black light. Looks like the beast is the way to go. Is it 365n? I want to be able to light up the whole side of the car. This video was 7 months ago. Is this the most up to date ?

[@willhooke]

Hello Thank you for your informative video What is the UV writing on the paper done with?

[@BryanMiraflor]

have you tested the uvBeast V3 365nm MINI ?

[@L0st-n0found]

Mine came... It's teriffic for throw price and physical size. Just needs a filter.. Desperately Please come out with a filtered model Also needs a tail button on off and a high low would be great. Heaven forbid somone would come out with an anduril ramping uv. A rechargeable model with a cap button would be spectacular. When you unscrew to turn off.. Aa battery rattles like crazy A few bigger rechargeable models would be great. And red light with red color body and green light with green color body of this would be great

[@kma5699]

Any updates to the H01 HEADLAMP like USB-C port?

[@codexferet]

Are they all the same wavelength? Thank you. Nitcore Tiki has a wavelength of 365nm.

[@ronb2505]

pretty kewl James bond stuff another great video thanks for your time thrunite rocks

[@clems6989]

More important is the frequency if the UV light. For killing viruses you must have tge correct light..

[@LindenRanch]

Nice comparison but nm information is not mentioned. What are these lights for?

[@HIROISHI21]

Does it consume the battery faster than normal flashlights? They shine so bright even if they are small.

[@pdubzz4613]

Need a wide beam to look for AC leaks in an engine bay

[@Treps1]

I need to get myself one of those Thunite archers. Looks great

[@bravo_the_broken4003]

Love that it runs on AA, I have the adjustable AA that I picked up on amazon and it sucks. I usually use these to look for coolant leaks,and that Thrunite looks like it would blow my cheap amazon uv light out to the trash bin

[@forrestthroughdatrees]

I’m looking for a black light with a lot of throw so I can put glow tape on my disc golf discs and be able to find them at night (hopefully). - Responding to your Q about why people would want high throw.

[@daemn42]

I use the Beast for this purpose. In addition to charging glow discs, it works great for finding most bright orange/green/yellow discs at night (even if you've lost them some time during the day). I wouldn't recommend anything less bright or with less throw than the Beast V3.

[@The_Chosen_Juan]

The uvBeast is insane, however is way too big for a uv light you wont use all the time, the Thrunite performs excellent for what a uv light is going to be used and it's very small so more comfortable to carry along with a regular light

[@nasaboy87]

There's a guy in TikTok that does live streams hunting scorpions on his property in Arizona. That's the type of person who needs it. The Thrunite is more for what a normal person does.

[@daemn42]

Just curious.. how do you think most people use UV lights? For spotting scorpions, golf balls, and disc golf discs.. brighter with max throw with longer run time, are all desirable.

[@edwardsmith3817]

Thanks for the information! I’m going to use a UV light to find garnets in the wild

[@octane0570]

Do you the the UV beast can change up glow in the dark paintballs? Because I need something to change my glow in the dark paintballs with UV flashlight 😅

[@groundfog]

I’ve been thinking about a UV light. Great timing!

[@thomasguitarman9025]

Are there ANY TRUE UV LIGHTS THAT ARE NOT LED S I need one that is not LED

[@maelradec6766]

nice vid, have you ever tried a mechanics ndt lamp? yea having a lot of throw and range is for opal miners my man.

[@dragonlo6514]

For and edc, the Archer looks like the best choice IMO

[@jvanerio]

Great review! Would like to try out the Thrunite Archer UV.

[@t-money10]

Love my Thrunite❤ best EDC period.

[@shahad5]

This simply video is veeery helpful.. thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@ganante]

awesome flashlights with great features for my camping adventures :) thanks and keep on the nice job :)

[@bobbyboy1797]

Why UV for camping?

[@Darrin8133]

Keep up the good work thrunite!

[@1HAPPYBOY]

I never knew ho wmuhc I need a UV light until I got one, now I use it everywhere!

[@kchaney56]

Are these all 365NM?

[@hastinglebreton6522]

Interseting ! But it is better to buy ARKFELD UV or Seeker mini 4.....yes it is more expansive but the quality and polyvalence is more important......good job for your video ! Bye to France ❤❤❤

[@ptrix]

This is a great explainer about the UV light products

[@fkasol]

I would also look into Alonefire products. They have great UV lights for very fair prices.

[@dwayneletterman3987]

Looking for a good UV light , for blood tracking !

[@Kauppamopo]

you should have had the Tiki UV with 1000mw 385nm UV light

[@es1968yt]

I think I probably need an UV light, never thought about it before : )

[@samuelnery6715]

The 25 dislikes in this video came from the volatiles in Harran

[@mthh1846]

The tiki uv has the main led as uv. And it has 2 modes. Weak and strong. The other modes are for the side leds which are just white and has 3 modes. The one in the video is the normal tiki not uv tiki.

[@joekasperek1086]

I need a UV light so I'd go with the Archer pro. Good vid thx

[@Reflect744]

Why not sure like real lift beam setting on what they can and can't pick up on some of us want to walk slowly around in the dark to identify specific minerals not just compare out bed sheets to put mate

[@johnnybowman4937]

The big one is used to find uv leaks in AC

[@nasaboy87]

If you live in a desert area with a lot of scorpions the UVbeast could come in handy. Otherwise the Archer UV and the I5UV would be perfect for the average person.

[@Bob-r5f]

Might be cool to add a UV light to the collection

[@sidpost]

Nice flashlights!

[@alexdeonversaagde]

We got snakes here. Its dark in the jungle. Cobras giant lizards. If it weren't for my cats I would be deadicated. I need and edge. Cant see sight.

[@ziyadob111e]

Thank you for the video

[@ericweese9737]

like when there is a clip attached - easier to carry

[@ssclassof2000]

the thrunite works better than those bigger cheap lights

[@KublaVeruca]

This guy sounds like CutleryLover... Am I wrong?

[@bentring333]

Looking for golf balls

[@АлександрБаранов-ж3ъ]

Это сюда надо комментить для конкурса?

[@reddyed24]

It’ll be my first UV!

[@Kirbytherealgamer]

Looking for scorpions. That's why I'm here lol

[@weinerblut6869]

Why don’t you test some decent quality up lights?

[@swcrites]

good video. thank you

[@torikajones5190]

very nice, thx for video

[@ilrac_art]

Super neat!!

[@LeoCesarini]

Nice!!

[@frankiebangbang3555]

For glow-in-the-dark sneakers

[@L0st-n0found]

Most important to check any uv light against Convoy and alonefire sv003 sv004 sv005 Why throw is important Looking for rocks and minerals Looking for scorpions Looking for anything that flouresces One exception checking counterfeit or suspected stolen (a fad a while ago not so much now) items for actual owner written in uv marker or paint... Then almost any uv works like a Keychain uv.

[@tubbyj02]

Insane

[@silverback3547]

Thrunite FTW
