00:00Okay, so last week I got handed a fake 20 at a farmer's market, and I didn't notice until I
00:05was
00:05already home. That annoyed me enough to go down a serious rabbit hole on UV blacklight flashlights,
00:11the kind that make counterfeit bills light up instantly. I ended up testing a bunch,
00:15comparing prices, and digging through thousands of reviews to find the five that are actually
00:20worth your money. These are the best deals I found on UV blacklights for money detection,
00:25and honestly, a couple of them cost less than a sandwich. First up is the budget champion,
00:30this little 9, 12, or 51 LED UV flashlight that runs about $4.23. $4. And it's got over 4800
00:40sold
00:41with a 4.9 rating, so people clearly love it. You get a choice of LED counts depending on how
00:47much coverage you want, it's water-resistant, and it slips right into a pocket or a cash drawer.
00:52Honestly, if you run a small shop or a market stall, buy three of these and stick one at every
00:57register. At this price there's basically no reason not to. Next is the 365 nanometer blacklight,
01:06and this is where things get interesting. Most cheap UV lights are 395 nanometers, which works,
01:12but 365 is the real deal, it gives you way less visible purple glow, so the security strips and
01:18fluorescent fibers and banknotes pop with much better contrast. It's $6.20, 4.9 stars, and nearly
01:253800 sold. It also handles pet stains, ringworm detection, and resin curing. If you want accuracy
01:33over brightness, this is the one I'd grab. Now if you want the absolute monster of the group,
01:39there's the 160-watt high-power rechargeable UV torch at 4879.
01:44Yeah, it's the priciest here by a mile, but this thing is a completely different animal.
01:50It floods an entire room in UV, so you're not hunting around with a tiny beam, you just sweep
01:55it and everything fluorescent lights up. It's rechargeable, built like a proper flashlight,
02:00and it handles money, minerals, scorpions, leak detection, the whole lot. If you're doing
02:05this professionally, or you just want the best, this is it. Then there's the SV62 mini penlight,
02:123W, 365nm, running on a single AAA battery, and it's $6.33. This one's my personal everyday carry
02:21pick. It clips into your shirt pocket like a pen, weighs almost nothing, and because it's
02:26AAA-powered you're never stuck waiting on a charge, swap a battery and keep going.
02:31It's got that proper 365-nanometer output too, so you're not sacrificing accuracy for size.
02:38Perfect for cashiers, servers, or anyone who handles cash on the move.
02:43And rounding it out, the zoomable USB rechargeable model at $9.32.
02:49The zoom feature is genuinely useful here, widen the beam to scan a whole bill at once,
02:54or tighten it down to inspect one specific security thread up close.
02:58It comes in 395 or 365-nanometer versions, and the USB charging means no battery hunting.
03:06$9 for a rechargeable zoom UV light is a pretty solid deal, and it's the most versatile all-rounder
03:11on this list.
03:13Alright, that's my top 5.
03:15All the links are down in the description, and I've matched them up so you can grab whichever
03:19one fits your situation.
