LONG WAVE or SHORT WAVE? A YouTube Video

Someone in the USA has made a very helpful video on this topic. I recommend you watch it.

But first, I have some comments on the UV torches/flashlights used in the film. They are all low power UV flashlights. I used to offer the exact 3-in-1 torch she shows (it was FT2 UV torch), but no longer – for three reasons:

  1. First, shipping and the low Australian dollar made them very expensive – nearly $600 retail then, more now.
  2. Second, all three options in the 3-in-1 UV torches are weak (equivalent to FS2, FM2 and FL0 UV torches) compared to powerful single wavelength UV torches now available.
  3. Third, you can get three much more powerful SW, MW and LW UVtorches for much the same or even lower cost.

But all the information in the video is correct.
