Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 51018 Twin-Task 3C 9-Inch UV Flashlight, Titanium
Customer Review: Durable Multi-Use Flashlight
Summary: 5 Stars
After having this for a few months, it has turned into more of a multi-tasker than I had originally anticipated. It's a very well-made, solid flashlight, not unlike a MagLite. I have yet to replace the batteries after 2 months of regular use because of the high-output, low wattage LEDs that make up the UV light element. I initially bought the flashlight solely for scorpion control in the backyard, but on my way out of the house noticed food stains on the counter and food stains on the dogs' placemats that didn't quite get cleaned as I'd like, so I took care of those as well. (It's a handy tool for all you budding or full-scale middle-of-the-night OCD cleaners) Outside, because of street lamps, I was not able to effectively use the low-UV setting to get scorpions to fluoresce, but the high setting works well, even in light polluted areas. The regular flashlight settings give off a very bright beam of standard blue/white xenon light that is comparable to a halogen-strength bulb. It is no longer in my drawer of single-task garage goodies, but doing duty as one of our emergency backup flashlights as well. Great product at a great price!Customer Review: Fantastic Flashlight
Summary: 5 Stars
This Streamlight flashlight is by far the coolest and most unique flashlight I own. The UV mode is really neat; it feels like this flashlight allows you to see into another world. It's excellent for checking your bathroom or kitchen for any invisible spills. It seems like something you'd see crime scene investigators using on TV. The Xenon mode is very bright too. The flashlight itself is very tough and the casing is beautifully designed. Plus, it looks like a light saber.Customer Review: For the wannabe CSI in all of us.

Be it the armchair investigator in me or the fun of having an easily portable blacklight the truth is I bought this flashlight, not because I needed a good flashlight, but because I wanted it for the novelty. What I got was a versatile and useful tool. Light weight for it's size this flashlight is durable. It has a strong beam on it and the UV is a nice bit of fun as well. Truthfully, unless you are a CSI or a neat freak, you probably don't need the UV feature of this flashlight...but it doesn't hurt. It's useful and worth the price, especially if you can catch it on sale.Customer Review: Great in AZ

This light has been great for taking scorpion hunting at night in Arizona. It is a high quality light.Customer Review: Nice flashlight... Questionable Blacklight
Summary: 2 Stars
I guess you can't expect one product to do it all can you. This works great as an everyday flashlight but isn't that great in the blacklight department. It was picky on what it would pick up. We also had a cheap blacklight that would pick up more than this one.
