Everything you own is covered in filth! – Ultrafire WF-502B 1W UV Flashlight with Clip (3.4V~8V Input) Reviews

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

Pros:
1. UV is fun! 2. The body of this light is very attractive, making it a perfect P60 host. 3. Takes all manner of protected and unprotected cells. 4. Pocket clip is a nice touch. 5. Clicky switch is easier to depress than some, making it girlfriend/spouse-friendly.
Cons:
1. LED in module was not centered.
2. Light came with fine scratches/dings on the bezel - maybe from shipping?
3. If using 18650 cells, make sure everything is screwed down - contact is barely made due to construction (but they do work).
Other:
My eyes hurt after using this for only short periods of time - USE EYE PROTECTION! If you need a UV light source, this one will do the trick - just don't leave it with children or shine it on pets. I wonder if I could spot tan with this...
Bottomline:
Buy it as a host - use the P60 UV LED module with another body if you want. That's what I did. Now my days are spent wondering about the origins of the various stains that lurk in every corner of my house.
