Important Notice:
This is a high-performance UV light—not intended for continuous operation. If left on too long the LED will overheat and may burn out. Cooler ambient temperatures (< 55 °F) will let you run longer, but when the head feels hot, turn it off and let it cool for a few minutes. Use it “on when inspecting, off when not,” and never leave it running in a pocket.

The flashlight is well made and quite powerful. However, the supplied battery charger is junk. The charger only lasted a couple months before dying.

I did buy my Convoy C8 UV flashlight from Kingley North because they have one of the best prices. A good UV thrower is hard to find. This is the best I have found. It will light up fluorescent minerals from 10 feet away super bright. Of course, get a good Li ion battery charger. I like Nitecore with the digital display. For batteries: Green 5A Panasonics and Red 10A have long battery life and plenty of discharge for any market flashlight. I think they supply the green Panasonics with this flashlight, which makes it a very good deal IMO. I found yooperlites in WI, unfortunely I did not have this. I think you can find them around most of the Great Lakes. I feel this light is the GPZ 7000 of UV rockhounding. I use it for green chalcedony and purple fluorite in AZ (colors reflected under UV). Of course, you need to know where to go. Not hard to find on Google. Flashlight takes two 018650 batteries; I personally use a 018650 button battery for the tailcap battery, seems to work a tad better. It will makes sense when you analyze it; better contact.

Amazing flashlight! Horrible battery chargers
Review by
Cody
I bought 3 of the convoy c8 flashlights for our trip to Lake Superior to find sodalite rocks, the flashlights work AMAZING, but the chargers that come with them are junk! They don’t fully charge the battery’s as I charged them for 12 hours and then put them on someone’s higher quality charger, that shows the level and they weren’t even charged halfway. Please ship with better chargers.

Make sure both batteries are fully charged. This light will arrive with a minimal charge on both batteries. The charger is a low output so you can leave the batteries on the charger for 8+ hours.
It's 365nm which falls on the longwave end of the spectrum.
Yes, this is the light for that.
