I just got one of the 32 LED UV torches from ebay. It works well and
projects a very concentrated beam of near UV light. As with many of
these torches it just dumps the huge parallel array of LEDs directly
across a pack of three measly AAA cells. This means that LED current
will vary according to battery quality, type and life.
The LEDs also have distinctly different intensities suggesting poor
forward voltage matching.
Other than that it's a lot of fun. Just walking about your house at
night with it on reveals some unusual fluorescing objects.
The case is the usual classy machined aluminium and is chunky and nice
with a proper on-off push button.
