Shortwave LED Flashlight - A First for the Hobby!

Quick addendums:
- Yes I obviously have the 258nm LEDs. However, the company is releasing very powerful ones shortly. Expected output ~200-300mW

After a second time reviewing the video it looks like there was a reaction caused by 253.7nm SW. However, the reaction is so dim that it could be easily mistaken for lamp reflection.
