The item is made of durable aluminium and seems good quality. Solid construction and no scratches etc. Uses Two AA batteries (not 18650's!). The light seems brigth but I doubt its 3W. At 3V (2xAA) that would mean its drawing an amp, which I highly doubt. Likely its less than 1W. It is lightweight, even with the batteries in (mine came supplied with batteries in, even when the listing said batteries were not included), although the included batteries were very light, probably two thirds of the weight of high quality AA batteries. Anyways, thats not really a part of the review. The switch at the back seems durable and has really nice feel to it. The light makes fluorescent materials glow nicely even from some distance. If you buy one, be careful and cautitious about the dangers strong, invisible light. Never point to eyes. Overall recommended product.Read full review

The casing is too large for the batteries. In the torch that I purchased the batteries rattle around thus it does not provide a good connection. The end result is that the light flashes on and off as the torch is moved.

The review left by pelaaja1 is accurate to my own experiences and came with batteries in it too. Does rattle slightly but doesn't knock anything down in my opinion. The light doesn't seem like it works at first but then realised it only works on things that glow under UV, which makes a nice strong purple glow when it goes. It's nice and lightweight with a nice sturdy belt clip on the side too and made of really good quality material.

This inexpensive torch has already paid for itself, using it I can check bank notes 20-50 at a time, just fan them out,illuminate them with the torch and the fake jumps ouy at you, Also proved very useful authenticating a signature on a 19th century painting. Excellent value for money. It is not bright in the sense of visible light, it is not intended to be.

I bought this to use to examine ID documents and it does the job a treat. Handy to carry in your case and the light is powerful enough to use in bright light and still identify the counterfeits without the need for a big mains powered unit. What it's like at curing your nails I have no idea - I'll leave that to the ladies but if you want a handy portable counterfeit checker this is a good one to go for.
