Handheld UV Black Light Torch Portable Blacklight with LED by Voila

The light was purchased as a replacement for a much older similar unit. It works, but the plastic makes it seem rather fragile. The batteries were a poor fit, tending to jam in the case. I have real concerns that the on/off switch will not last long. Unlike the older unit, the white LED lacks a protective cover. The light from the UV tube seems even, with the tube lit along it's full length. This suggests the high voltage circuit has an adequate, symmetrical output, unlike the older unit that tended to light the tube over only 2/3 of its length. As the unit is new and not used that often, I think it will last a long time. It is not stored with the batteries in place, but there is some concern that the battery compartment door may brea on repeated use. Given the poor build quality and relatively thin plastic case, I think it is rather expensive. Unfortunately I was unable to find a supply of the more sturdy built Guardlite original.
