Convoy S2 365nm LW UV Flashlight Way Too Cool UV Light for Fluorescent Minerals

Description: Convoy S2 LW UV 365nm Flashlight Way Too Cool UV Light for Fluorescent Minerals, Fossils, Insects, Flowers etc... - Longwave Ultraviolet Flashlight - Wavelength: 365 nm (nanometers) - 6 Watts - Approximate Dimensions: 4.75" x 0.95" - Installed Filter Glass: High quality ZWB2 (black glass) filter allowing for transmission of pure 365nm UV - Rechargeable Lithium ion Battery - Flashlight comes with a 18650 (800mAh) rechargeable battery. - Included Wall Charger- Lanyard - NEW In Box This listing is for one Gray Way Too Cool Convoy 365nm 6 Watt Longwave (LW) Ultraviolet (UV) Flashlight, brand new in box with rechargeable battery and wall charger. This is one of the exact LW lights that I use regularly and is also one of the lights I use in all of my LW fluorescent specimen listings. Whether you are a hobbyist or just getting started in the fluorescent mineral world, the Convoy S2 UV light is a quality filtered UV flashlight that emits a high-intensity ultra violet wavelength and provides outstanding value for the price. This is also a great way to get started with fluorescent mineral identification. The Convoy S2 365nm LW UV 6 watt flashlight by Way Too Cool is a powerful and reliable tool for professionals and enthusiasts alike. The perfect longwave ultra-violet flashlight for UV reactive minerals and Crystals! This compact and lightweight flashlight with aluminum body emits a high-intensity UV light with a 365nm wavelength, perfect for collecting fluorescent minerals. It features a rechargeable battery already with installed ZWB2 black glass filter that blocks visible light, yet allows UV light to pass through. This gives optimum luminescent response with accurate fluorescent colors typical to each individual stone based on the impurities within its crystal lattice due to its location.I strongly recommended that fluorescent collectors invest the money necessary to get a quality UV Light. Fluorescent mineral collecting can be expensive, so if you are going to spend your hard earned money on pricey specimens, then why would you cut corners on the appropriate UV lighting for your collection?!! Battery and Charging Information: The flashlight battery will arrive partially discharged and should be fully charged prior to use. The light can be recharged with the included Wall Charger. Simply unscrew the back of the flashlight, remove the battery, and insert into the charger with +/- facing the correct direction. Then plug it in! While the battery is low the LED on the charger will be red. When the battery is fully charged, the LED turns a solid green and the battery should be removed from the charger. Reinstall and start luminescing your specimens! Notice: UV is harmful to the eyesight of all living creatures. The use of UV-blocking eye protection is strongly recommended. UV lights should be only used by adults or under adult supervision, with proper instruction and knowledge. UV lights should be used to illuminate objects only. What makes minerals fluorescent? Ultraviolet light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Fluorescence occurs when electrons in certain atoms of a crystallized mineral absorb the radiated energy from a UV light (Photons). The incoming photons bump the electrons into higher energy states, and they respond to the ultraviolet light. The remaining light energy is out of balance and remitted and can be seen as a visible color. The reason for the fluorescent remitted colors is due to impurities in the mineral, or activators; which become part of the mineral?s chemistry by taking the place of atoms in the host mineral. A majority of activators are atoms of certain metal elements that cause the resulting fluorescence in a mineral, Manganese being the most common activator. The level of fluorescence depends on the percentage of the impurities in relationship to the host atoms. Too much/little, results in low or no fluorescent response.
