I can relate to that. I took some of those UV flashlights with me as part of my conformal coat course last year at IPC. Made the mistake of examining my hotel room with the black light on and the normal lights off. Made sleeping kinda difficult after that.

Or if you are looking for a little nostalgia, take walk into your nearest Spencer Gifts in the local mall. (I cannot go in there anymore with my work clothes on as I look like a CSI crime scene.)

My biggest concern is safety, i.e. user precautions. After that I am looking for advice on the correct wavelength UV source for general electronic product use such as PCB, connector, PCBA, and plastic product surfaces.
