UV Flashlight Black Light, LOFTEK 51 LED 395 nm Blacklight Flashlite Pet Urine Detector for Dog Urine, Dry Stains, Bed Bug, Scorpion, Matching with Pet Odor Eliminator

The LOFTEK ultraviolet LED blacklight flashlight is AWESOME! We live in Phoenix and unfortunately, we have scorpions here. I haven't wanted to purchase a blacklight, mostly because I didn't want to know what might be lurking around the outside of our house. Last week my husband found one in the house and it freaked me out. I do NOT want to step on one, let alone our little kids step on one. SO...I broke down and purchased this one after a bit of research. Our bug guy who comes and sprays told me that the best one to purchase is at lest $50 - but I didn't want to spend that much. This one had very highly rated reviews, so I thought I'd give it a try!I'm proud to report that we found NO scorpions when we searched the house after dark. Come to find out, the scorpion we found in the house came from an Amazon box. (Hey, it comes with living in Phoenix). This blacklight works SO great! I actually made a mistake using it our bathroom. GROSS. I had no idea it would show what it did, but now I can say that it's cleaner than it ever has been. I've also never cleaned a bathroom in the dark, but sometimes you've gotta do what you need to do.It uses three AA batteries, that are not included. Once in, it works perfect. It doesn't overheat and also isn't a super mini flashlight that has a little area of light when you shine it. It has 51 UV bulbs that give you a nice working area when it's on. This was a really great purchase and the price is AMAZING compared to what our pest control company recommended. GREAT product and definitely recommended - if not for pests/bugs, you'll at least have a super clean house when you are done inspecting it.

This LOFTEK UV black light works very well. We have always had pets. We used to have several dogs, now we have cats. We are a multi-cat family. I have taken in very young orphaned kittens and bottle-fed them. They think I am Mommy. Lol. Those babies are now adults. (We have too many cats.) I know of several places my feline babies have urinated outside of their litter box. Now I know of some places I didn’t know about as well. I AM HORRIFIED!!!How does stuff get on the walls way up there? I know it wasn’t a dog or cat, unless we have an invisible one that is 6 feet tall. It must’ve been the kids and their friends over the years. Oh my gosh! I debated on whether we should burn the house down and rebuild. I am NEVER going to be able to clean it all up. With this ultraviolet flashlight, I can get a good start on it and clean the most important areas first. The pet messes are priority. I will clean the stuff way up high later.This LOFTEK black light is very sturdy. I put it on top of my new dishwasher (has not been installed yet), and then I moved the dishwasher to clean the floor. I forgot my black light was on top of my dishwasher. It fell off and hit the hardwood floor. KURPLUNK!! I turned it on, and it didn’t light. OH NO! I was bummed. It was only the second night I had used it. I took it apart, removed the batteries, put the batteries back in, put the flashlight back together, turned it on, and IT WORKED! HOORAY!! That was a few weeks ago. I have run around the house with my black light every night since then. This black light is metal instead of cheap plastic. I love my LOFTEK UV black light!!! I am going to buy another one. It is a very sturdy flashlight.If you want a reasonably priced black light to find pet messes ( and kid messes), this one is a good choice. There is no need to buy one of those expensive black lights. This one works really well. You will find things you are looking for, and lots of things you aren’t looking for as well. Brace yourself! It can be scary! Lol.

The light itself works well once you figure out how to put in the batteries. My light came in a plain cardboard box with no markings and no instructions. I am of reasonable intelligence and it took more time that it should to figure out how to install the batteries.The battery case had a plus sign on one end and a minus sign on the other and that led me to believe the batteries should all be inserted with the positive terminal facing the plus sign and the negative terminal facing the minus sign. In my experience most but not all battery cases are constructed so the negative battery terminal connects to the contact that is a spring but to insert all three batteries with the positive terminal facing the plus sign, one of the batteries had to be inserted with its positive terminal facing the spring. That did not work so I trusted my intuition and followed the negative terminal contacts the spring rule which did work once I figured out how to insert the battery holder assembly into the flashlight. Unlike the picture my battery holder did not have an arrow to indicate the how to orient the battery case when inserting it in the light.In case others get a light like mine the batteries should be inserted so the negative terminals contact the springs and the battery holder assembly should be inserted into the flashlight with the end marked with a plus sign first.I bought the light to locate scorpions but it is currently too cold in the desert for the critters to come out at night. It definitely throws light much farther than my 9 LED light and I think it will work well when the nights warm up again.
