Irradiance Measurement of realUV LED Flashlight
How is the mW/cm^2 irradiance measured for this UV light?
The irradiance values are measured using a UV irradiance meter calibrated to 365 nm.
Is there any information as to how much white/visible light is emitted?
We unfortunately have not measured the visible light component. Anecdotally, very little visible light is present, though what can be observed is a very dim, blueish light.
Can I expect this to be significantly brighter than a standard 4 Watt 365nm black/UV bulb?
In terms of total energy output, you will likely see similar energy levels. However, because the flashlight focuses the UV beam at a much narrower angle, the effective irradiance levels will likely be much higher than a standard UV fluorescent lamp.
Any links to video demonstrations?
Unfortunately, we do not have any video demonstrations at this time. However, in consideration of your questions above, we would perhaps recommend testing and taking advantage of our free returns policy. If for whatever reason you find that the UV flashlight will not work for your project, we would be more than happy to pay for return shipping and offer a full refund.
