The FlipLight is a versatile 6-Watt UV ultraviolet lamp. Shortwave UV is most commonly used in applications such as RUVIS and forgery examinations and should not be used without taking proper personal safety precautions. Able to run off A/C power or through the integrated battery, the FlipLight is a great light for dual lab and field use. It features a unique arm which flips into a horizontal position, allowing the unit to be used hands-free use. The lamp includes two UV light bulbs. The battery operating time with the single-bulb is approximately 6 to 7 hours and 4 to 5 hours with the double-bulb and an approximately 20 hour charge time. The user can select how many bulbs are active. Battery life is extended when using a single bulb.
