About This Product:
The Fullwave UV Light is a tri-wavelength ultraviolet flashlight that emits shortwave (254nm), midwave (310nm), and longwave (365nm) UV light from a single handheld device. Designed in the USA, it is purpose-built for fluorescent mineral detection — allowing rockhounds and mineral collectors to observe fluorescence across the widest possible range of specimens without carrying multiple lights. The shortwave channel uses a 255nm PKB-S50-F36-H1 LED at 100mW radiant output, the midwave uses a 310nm PKF-50-F35 at 100mW, and the longwave uses a 365nm CUN6GB1A LED at up to 2000mW with adjustable brightness. The Fullwave UV Light is USB rechargeable via an included 6000mAh 21700 cell and supports 32650, 26650, and 18650 batteries through a set of included adapters, making it suitable for extended field use. Beyond minerals, it is used for UV glue curing, scorpion detection, and pet stain identification. Illuminated controls allow wavelength switching in complete darkness without disrupting night vision. This combination of shortwave, midwave, and longwave output is what the mineral collecting community refers to as fullwave UV observation.
Who is this for?
The Fullwave UV Light is built for fluorescent mineral collectors and rockhounds who want to cover shortwave, midwave, and longwave UV without carrying multiple lights. It's particularly well suited for collectors who hunt willemite, scheelite, calcite, fluorite, sodalite, and yooperlite — minerals that respond differently across UV wavelengths. It also serves gem and mineral show attendees, field geologists, and hobbyists upgrading from a single-wavelength light for the first time.
Key Features:
✅ Tri-Wavelength Brilliance: This multiwave light features the three most commonly used wavelengths by rockhounds. Shortwave (254nm), Midwave (310nm), and Longwave (365nm). A great choice for exploring new mines, your local gem and mineral show, or the depths of your collection. Reveal the hidden beauty of your mineral collection!
✅ Adjustable Longwave Brightness: This feature lets you match the brightness of the shortwave and midwave lights, use full power during the day at a show, or choose any level in between. It’s flexible and perfect for all your collecting trips and explorations. Simply hold the button.
✅ Rechargeable Convenience: Say goodbye to the hassle of constantly changing batteries. The Fullwave UV Light features USB charging, ensuring that you can easily power up your device anytime, anywhere, without the need for additional batteries. Out of power? Easily replace batteries, giving you the best of both convenience and flexibility to allow you to continue exploring the world of fluorescent minerals with peace of mind.
✅ Illuminated Controls: Lighted switches make it easy to swap between the three UV wavelengths, even in the dark. The lights turn off after a few seconds to protect your night vision, letting you stay focused in low-light areas.
✅ Extended Battery Life: The Fullwave UV Light includes a 6000mAh 21700 cell but is capable of using up to a 32650 battery, offering extended usage time to keep you engaged with your passion for fluorescent minerals. With this powerful battery, you can explore your collection for hours on end without interruptions. Note: Do not use LiFePO4 3.2v32650 cells in this light.
Discover the remarkable beauty hidden within your mineral collection like never before. The Fullwave UV Light is the ultimate tool for enthusiasts who demand precision, convenience, and long-lasting performance in their fluorescent mineral adventures. Don't miss out on the chance to elevate your hobby to new heights – experience the Fullwave UV Light today!

This tri-wavelength UV flashlight is designed primarily for fluorescent mineral detection. It emits shortwave (254nm), midwave (310nm), and longwave (365nm) ultraviolet light, allowing users to observe fluorescence in a wide range of minerals. It is commonly used by rockhounds, mineral collectors, and field geologists to identify and study fluorescent specimens both in the field and at home.
-
Many common fluorescent minerals respond to one or more of the wavelengths produced by this flashlight. Examples include fluorite, calcite, willemite, scheelite, and sodalite, yooperlite. Because different minerals react to different UV wavelengths, having shortwave, midwave, and longwave in one device significantly increases the range of observable fluorescence.
-
Shortwave and midwave ultraviolet light can be harmful to eyes and skin with direct exposure. Always wear proper UV-blocking safety glasses when using this flashlight, especially in shortwave mode. Avoid direct exposure to skin and never shine the light into eyes. Use the light in controlled conditions and follow standard UV safety practices.
-
Unlike single-wavelength UV flashlights, this device combines three wavelengths: shortwave (254nm), midwave (310nm), and longwave (365nm) into one portable unit. This allows users to detect a wider variety of fluorescent minerals without needing multiple lights. It is designed for high UV output, field use, and efficient switching between wavelengths.
-
Yes. In addition to fluorescent mineral identification, this UV flashlight can be used for forensic inspection, leak detection, contamination checks, and certain industrial or educational applications. The multiple wavelengths make it more versatile than standard UV lights for specialized inspection tasks.
-
This is a high-performance portable UV flashlight designed for field and enthusiast use. While it provides powerful multi-wavelength UV output, it is not a replacement for calibrated laboratory equipment such as UV transilluminators used in molecular biology or controlled lab environments.
-
Different materials fluoresce under different UV wavelengths. A tri-wavelength UV flashlight allows you to switch between shortwave, midwave, and longwave UV, increasing the likelihood of detecting fluorescence across a broader range of minerals and materials. In many cases, specimens contain multiple fluorescent minerals that respond to different wavelengths, so using both shortwave and longwave UV provides a more complete and accurate viewing experience. This is often referred to by collectors as “fullwave” observation.
-
Yes. While it is a powerful and technical device, it can be used by beginners with proper safety precautions. It is especially useful for those who want to explore fluorescent minerals without purchasing multiple separate UV lights.
