    Ceiling- and Wall-Mount UV Inspection Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ultraviolet Inspection Lights. Ceiling- and Wall-Mount UV Inspection Lights.
    Shine UV light over large work areas to uncover leaks, cracks, and contaminants. These lights illuminate fluorescent dyes, particles, and other chemicals, making defects easy to spot. Fasten them to a wall or ceiling, so you’ll have both hands free to adjust what you’re inspecting or make repairs.
    Ultraviolet and LED Bulbs—Lights with an ultraviolet and LED bulb last longer, are more efficient, and generate less heat than lights with a fluorescent bulb.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Lights that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted due to local regulatory limits on mercury.

    UV and White Light Inspection Flashlights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Ultraviolet Inspection Lights. UV and White Light Inspection Flashlights.
    Make surface defects stand out—these flashlights have a UV light that illuminates fluorescent dyes, particles, and chemicals so you can identify cracks and pores on parts or find leaks in your system. These flashlights also have a white LED bulb that shines a focused, even beam for normal flashlight uses. The head bends up to 90° so you can direct light where you need to when holding them in tight spaces. A strong magnet on the opposite end lets you stick them onto magnetic surfaces for hands-free use.

    Spot Beam

    Detect leaks and contamination while keeping both your hands free. These headlamps use UV light to reveal dyes, particles, and chemicals with fluorescent qualities, making cracks and defects easy to spot. Each headlamp also has a regular LED light to see in dim and dark areas. Both bulbs emit a focused, flood light beam that works best for close-up inspections.
    Motion Sensor—Headlamps with a motion sensor switch between brightnesses, beam patterns, and bulb types with a wave of your hand. They’re helpful when your gloves are oily or dirty. You can also press a button to switch between these modes. The additional spot beam pattern has a wide angle to illuminate at a distance.

    Wire-Terminal-Base Miniature Light Bulbs

    Wire terminals allow you to connect these bulbs to a power source through a panel. These bulbs are sized to fit into tight spaces such as signs, instruments, indicators, and flashlights. Brightness is measured in lumens; the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.

    Ultraviolet LED bulbs are often used to sterilize surfaces, cure adhesives, and detect leaks. Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye.
