UV Light for A/C Leaks

[Wamsutta]

Does it have to be a Tracerline brand, or will any black light work?

Almost every brand makes a UV flashlight (O-light, Streamlight, Beast…).

I have a UVbeast V3 mini 365nm from Amazon. About $40 and works great. USB-C charging.

Do yourself a favor and get a UV beast. The output on them make things so much easier to find than any of the little rinky dink UV lights.

uvBeast it is. What about the glasses? Is there anything special about UV enhancing glasses, or will any yellow glasses do?

Old lady original BluBlockers would be great. What you want, is something that blocks both the UV, and the far blue that comes from the light, so you only see the fluorescence from the dye.

I honestly don't even use the glasses. I'm sure it's not great for my eyes but the color contrast with the beast is enough that you don't need them.

At first use you'll immediately see you won't need glasses with the UVbeast.
