Nite Ize Radiant MicroLight, Black Body/White LED

This a great light to have handy in your pocket. It's also a gentle red that is not intrusive to sensitive eyes when it's dark or you don't want disturb others around you. Overall it seems fairly rugged with long lasting durability.

The Inova UV microlight isn't meant to be a CSI tool, but to cause certain materials and objects to fluoresce in darkness or impart a quick charge to Glow-In-the-Dark materials. This little microlight does that quite well.Some may want to use this to look for bio-spills and stains, but the brightness and power of this microlight requires those tasks be done in a totally darkened room at at close range. This is not for tracking blood trails in the night (CSI types often use a spray material that causes blood to fluoresce under UV; hunters find Coleman gas-lanterns or high brightness incandescent lights best.The UV microlight will reveal markers in newer currency in a normally lit room. From dusk to dawn it will cause fluorescing fishing line to visibly glow out to 15' and other materials to brightly glow at even further distances depending on exposed area. Two seconds exposure of a fluorescent marked watch face will cause it to glow for several minutes. Fifteen seconds exposure of glow-in-the-dark duct tape (Duck brand) will cause a glow lasting a very long while. (Exposing this tape to sunlight for a half hour will cause it to glow all night long.)So the Inova UV LED microlight does a good job illuminating or charging fluorescent or glow 'markers' on objects for those needing to find things in the night while not disturbing others or compromising night adapted vision. Inova's Blue LED microlight comes in second at these tasks, but is better at lighting a path in the dark, which is why I have a UV microlight in my tackle box and another in my tool chest, but a Blue microlight on my key-ring.

I was issued a few of these in Afghanistan. Rubbed the buttons off of them. Always wanted to get more, but the old company went away or something. Exact same thing from Nite Ize though. Flashlight bright from a keychain clipped to my zipper. Extremely useful. Had white, red, and green lights on my kit. Probably skip green unless you're wanting to signal with it. White and Red are perfect for EDC. Got a UV one a while back that was kinda neat.

Nifty and cheap little light I keep clipped to my ID badge for when I perform quick fluorescein eye exams. I have actually purchased 2 of these so I can have another attached to my keychain. It is a very intense light so I use the less bright option and hold it to the side rather than in central vision. Great and easy alternative to a wood's lamp or blue LED penlight. It's secondary use is helping me light my path when it's dark outside. Cool third use I have never tried is the strobe light function for a party... or to induce seizure....Note in instructions booklet that I found useful: if you hold the button down until the light goes off, you can change the operation so that one push is on, the second push is a less intense light, third push is a strobe light, and pushing it after a few seconds turns it off.

The Microlight (red led) has found a permanent home on my key ring. It doesn't reduce your night vision and is great for reading charts in the dark. I removed the metal clip, which was awkward, and put my key ring directly through the same hole. It now fits flush with my other keys and is hardly noticeable. The red light is enough to see close up details like reading charts/maps, finding your keys after you drop them on the side of your car in the dark, but is not a flashlight. It has a maximum effective range of about 30" before it becomes too dim to be usable. This was a great purchase and has withstood several months of abuse banging around in my pocket. I would enthusiastically recommend this to a friend once the metal clip is removed.

Light weight and reliable. Just enough red light to preserve night vision.

I plan on putting this on the zipper pull on my uniform. Then I always have a light easily accessible.

This is one truly functional, convenient, handy and super cool tool. I bought 3 of them...one for my wife, my sister-in-law and myself. We all love them to bits! Guys are always asking me where I got it...some guys want to buy mine off me and they are offering twice the price! But I'm not letting mine go, now way!It is amazingly bright and I applaud the sturdy chassis. I like the blue light because even though it is bright it does not disturb others around you unless you shine it directly in their eyes but...why would you want to do that? One day while playing with it I realized it can stay on without you having to keep the button pressed. It pays to read the operating instructions. Strangely enough, my wife discovered that function the same day as I did. That's how much we play around with it!Seriously, get one! Why are you still reading this?
