For this price, it's a good flashlight. In daylight, the light source isn't very strong; at night it's a bit better, but it still won't illuminate anything beyond two meters. However, at this price, finding a UV flashlight is almost impossible, so price and quality go hand in hand. Overall, quite good.

UV sources are not easy to find and are quite expensive, which is why I decided to buy this lamp without much thought. Its effectiveness in daylight, as expected, is rather low, and even in darker rooms, the lamp has trouble illuminating anything more than a meter or two away. Nevertheless, for basic detection, it works perfectly well.
-
Sufficient for checking banknotes and hotel rooms. It has two gaskets (top/bottom independently), a carabiner for hanging is included in the set. Maybe someone will be interested, but it is VERY effective in checking the edges of beds and mattresses from a distance of 1.5m, so you don't have to get physically too close to the examined items.
-
A cool and useful gadget. It shines really brightly for its size and for such a price. I recommend it for people who collect minerals and amber like I do, because many of them can be verified more easily in UV light.
-
And I must admit that this UV flashlight from Militaria.pl is really a cool gadget! I mainly bought it to check banknotes, but it turned out to be much more than I expected. What I liked: - Banknotes – you can see all the security features clearly - Official documents – ID, driver’s license, passport – you can verify everything - Sturdy workmanship An additional plus – you can have fun illuminating various things at home. The price is fine for such functionality. I definitely don’t regret the purchase. If someone needs something for checking the authenticity of documents, or just wants a cool toy – I recommend it without hesitation.
-
Small, compact UV flashlight. I haven't used it for banknotes or minerals, but it perfectly highlights grease stains above the stove or cat urine on the wall, so it will probably handle other tasks as well.
-
Small, handy, practical UV flashlight. Suitable for checking the authenticity of banknotes, amber (from a short distance—I checked). I recommend the product.
-
For its size, the flashlight is quite powerful, it helps in finding things that glow under UV light. I’m curious if I’ll be able to find amber on the beach with it; I think with favorable conditions it’s definitely possible.
-
The flashlight itself meets expectations if you use it, for example, to verify banknotes. For searching for amber on the beach, it probably won't work... Minus for the carabiner, it fell apart the second time I tried to fasten it to my belt loop...
-
There’s not much to say, if someone deals with cash, in my opinion, it’s worth getting such a small portable UV flashlight to be sure that no one wants to deceive us.
-
There’s nothing magical about it. Weak UV light of average quality, but you can have some fun. A good flashlight if you don’t have high expectations. Plus for compact size and comfortable grip.
-
UV flashlight. Very good quality, you can see fingerprints, dust, etc.
-
Cheap and of good quality. You can check banknotes, stains on clothes, or traces of dirt.
-
The price, quality, and simplicity ratio is good; if you need UV light, I recommend it.
-
The lamp shines with quite a strong light—you can illuminate plants or part of the road ahead. Intended for a child—the light intensity (sufficient and not super strong) in my opinion is OK for a child. For banknotes OK, for checking insect droppings OK. Fingerprints—I have doubts, but we only checked it preliminarily.
