Kitchen...bathroom...entire house. I found old mildew damages in an area I did not expect. I'm assuming from a very old roof leak before they had replaced the roof. But yeah...you can see things that are otherwise invisible!
K-Rock and the Rockpile! How much fun with the light show. That's a great comparo between the two lights. I have one of those cheapies, need more power now! If I had your rock room, I'd just be sitting in there with the UV light for hours, I couldn't help myself. Super cool, thanks for sharing!
Dude how much time can you spend just walking around seeing what glows. I get stuck doin it for ages sometimes. I don’t have any that hold the glow though!!! It’s just so much fun!
Aye! The Aussie ones are green! Sweet! I’m working on a vid soon to play with my uv light… tried it out at camping but ughh… the leaves glowed a bunch more and I couldn’t spot the rocks haha!
I still have to try the other Aussie eggs to see if that all glow green but yeah, It's cool but distracting to see the foliage glow. One thing I didn't include the in video was a large rat that must've recently passed because it glowed a bright grey color and bout startled me because if I hadn't know it was there - ick...I don't even want to think about that! I haven't had any issues with my eyes yet but I'm sure at some point it will happen haha
All the druse quartz I find glows orange. Sorry for putting off this video cause I was like oh the UV beast all the way, but it was super cool seeing everything in the blacklight 👍🏼
i too have that little purple el cheapo uv light. wasn’t long before i picked up a much higher quality uv light. got a convoy c8. the difference in what show up is like night and day. next is to find myself a 254 nm…. gotta put in a few more O.T. days at work though lol! so wanna hit up the U.P. and find me some yooperlites.
Super super cool video bro, I’m outside in the rock garden weekly at night with my uv beast.. I think Jared did a spectacular job explaining the science behind the UV lights. He also inspired me to add the UV Beast to my tools. I send people to that video all the time lol. Keep Rocking and I’ll see you Thursday
You mentioned it looks different in person vs on camera. One apparent difference between the lights is that the Beast reveals multiple colors, whereas the cheap-o makes them all look like shades of purple. Is that real, or does the cheap light also make them glow different colors?
The cheap light shows some color but not all them and when using an unfiltered light, there is definitely more of a purple hue and even more so on camera. I used a big unfiltered light before but it took taping a yellow lens to see things better. The better light is a huge improvement and shows more brighter colors and you don't need an additional filters to block out that purple hue.
I love playing with mine. Don't give yourself eye burns fron the light. I always say, life I'd good but this time light is good. I got the extra batt tube and had to find the batteries. Keep being happy, safe and stay healthy. 😷⚒
@@WorldofRockhounds Ping me offline, and I can give you some help on this stuff. I think my email is available via youtube. I'm sure you are very busy. Can have a zoom call or something. Got a lot of years of experience with this stuff. And way too many glowy rocks. :)
God knows, I don't intend to rude and as Scientist (Fish Pathologist) & a gem collector, of course, I would enjoy (under normal Circumstances), however, I was excited to learn something about choosing UV flashlights for Fast Curing of Resin while Fly Tying!! And kept on hoping that you'd get to your Conclusion 😃 I subscribed, before watching, because I thought, that I'd have my answer 🥺So I'm sorry, but you Video just didn't do it for me!!
Which is totally fine! This video was just showing the differences on what it looks like on rocks/minerals. Everyone has their personal preferences for content on the platform and that's okay.
Friends, don't let friends buy unfiltered, crappy lights! :)
Too be fair...I bought myself the cheapo one a while back because at the time - I didn't know that nicer UV lights like this existed. :)
Your collection is awesome. I am a beginner and still very confused about the uv lights.
Does the wattage of UV torch effect the floroscence of crystals? Like 3watt vs 20watt.
I'm glad to see that you were able to upgrade UV light some. Don't you just love how your kitchen looks with it? :)
Also thank you for the mention! I commented before the video was done.
Kitchens and Bathrooms 🤢🤮🤣

And you're welcome! I appreciate your initial video!
Can you recommend best protective eye wear when using the black lights?

You should get one, Karen! It's worth it! I'm often in the rock room just checking things out haha

Dude do your eyes go funny after using it for a while? I felt like mine do but I also could be imagining it 🤔

Dude, it's no rush to watch my videos :)
I take the calcite clams from Florida out to play with often 😂 I sent you that hoping you’d get a blacklight
And sure enough i did! I appreciate that!
what's really cool is the massive amount of amazing rocks you have in your yard ! Awesome video Kyle. thank you.
I still have to finish sorting the remaining containers - I'm sure there are more rocks that react to that UV light in there!
@@WorldofRockhounds yes still looking forward to more sorting!!

It's such a huge difference and that sounds like it will be a blast!
You’ll never be able to dust enough to make it look clean under blacklight no judgment 👍🏼
Good to know lol

Nice! It's super addicting and I agree that Jared did a great job explaining things!

So Happy that Rock Hounding Life referred us to your channel ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you for that compliment and thank you to Jason for the shout out :D
I really enjoyed your fascinating video, I will definitely have to watch it several more times! Thank You 😊
You're welcome! Thank YOU for watching :)
I really love the minerals that react to uv🥰🤩😍🤯🤤💝💖💗🔝♾
I plan on doing more short videos :)
When you changed lights my mouth was hanging open. Looks like an alien rock garden and I'm living for it!
Next time you stay over - You can check out the rock pile for yourself! Just let me know so I can make sure it's charged up!
7:40 hurray!!!
Can this uv beast light be used for amber hunting at beaches?
Yes. I believe Jarek over at Amberscape has done that!
Super cool! 👍

Don't worry, I won't stare into the light :)
@@WorldofRockhounds go to the light Kyle, go to the light...
7:33 yay!!!
And just think, all you are using is longwave. More rock glows under shortwave UV 254nm.
Looks like I'll need to add one of those to my wishlist!
I would love a good 254nm light, but they sure do get pricey fast for something good.
