We have a concern. We are looking at using these for a Pre-K classroom.
Do the children need additional eye protection when using this product?

Peggy – thanks for the questions. The Handheld Black Light would be safe for a Pre-K classroom. Teacher supervision is still always suggested. Please reach out if you have any additional questions. Have a great Thanksgiving! Joshua

Will this hand held black light cause uv beads to change color through colored plastic?

It depends on the colored plastic. There are plastics, like used for medicine containers, that blocks UV rays.

I am looking to do some industrial testing with one of these. My question is, are they bright enough to meet my inspection criteria which is greater than 100 ft candles on a light meter?
