The most important task of the UV flashlight is to actually emit this ultra-violet light, and with a light strength that allows the user to perform the task, even in bright daylight conditions. And with the ultraviolet light we mean of course the UV-A light. UV-A LED’s have been on the market for only a few years now and are still expensive.
As UV-A light is not visible to the human eye, the user is not able to determine without a measurement device if the flashlight actually emits this desired UV-A light. Many manufacturing companies use
this fact to use inferior – but cheap- blue LED’s in their flashlight, which emit little or no UV-A light. Instead these flashlights emit the visible color violet and blue. The result is that the object that should glow up under influence of UV-A light now stay hidden to the flashlight and the human eye. And with this non-performance comes the mistrust in this technology.
The UV flashlights produced by us are equipped with the strongest UV-A LED’s available to the market. And they emit true UV-A light, with its emission peak.
UV-A LEDs have only been on the market for a few years and are still relatively expensive. As UV-A light is not visible to the human eye, the user can, without a measuring device, not determine whether the torch actually emits the desired UV-A light.
Many manufacturers use this fact to use inferior – but cheap – blue LEDs in their torches that emit little to no UV-A light. Instead, these torches emit the visible colours violet and blue.
The result is that the object that is supposed to light up under the influence of UV-A light is not visible to the human eye. As a result, there is less confidence in the technology.
The PDL II was co-developed with Europe’s leading tech giant. The UV torches produced
by Alcochem are equipped with the strongest UV-A LEDs available on the market.
