Hey, those are both longwave UV light. The one you refer as “shortwave” is a longwave 395nm uv, probably without a UV filter. The other one youre right it is longwave, but this one is 365nm + has UV filter lense. Shortwave UV lights are much more expensive and usually comes from a tube, not a LED. Just thought Id let you know!
I was about to write the same the big one sure is 365nm UV filtered, the other one is even longer 395nm, the purple color is the key, lower you go less you see, the uv light it’s invisible to us, and more you go to the 400nm and more you see it as a deep violet, anyway 365nm it’s enough to find good fluorescent rocks ✌🏼
Hello. Both lights are LW! The smaller one is probably unfiltered 395 or 400nm. The bigger light is a 365nm filtered LW light. It is one of the best lights out there. The SW flashlights are just around the corner. Thanks for a good video.
Yep, you're correct. I couldn't read the big one, but it looked like the UV Beast 365nm and the other one just some regular as you said, unfiltered UV light 395 spectrum with lots of LEDs. Can't wait for larger head light with more power to come out! Skal!🍺
@8:56 the one you said is light yellow is actually Scapolite. You actually found alot of Scapolite! You can see them when you rewatch your video towards the end where you laid them out on the rock. That red glow on your larger one there looks like it could be Calcite. Your thoughts?That mineral(Scapolite)can be found in Lapis Lazuli as well as FS Sodalite. Feldspar glows Blue, purple as well as Salmon or peach. Must've been a fun trip going to Greenland! My ancestors had a settlement there for about 300 years. I was told that alot of rock including FS Sodalite that is found in Canada actually came from Greenland via glaciers. I'm absolutely captivated by FS Sodalites and living on Lake Michigan, I hunt them every chance I get I'm out there getting these marvels! Nothing better in my opinion. Around here, the algae glows like a dull, red velvety color.
Them UV lights are quite a unique way to collect and display in a cabinet. Had a few specimens from up around four corners that glowed out of this world. Thanks for sharing!! Glad to see your still kickin rocks.
@@ElleyKnowsRocks I just had a small one. Built it myself. Just found a tourmaline deposit. The crystals are beautiful. Red, Watermelon, even some blueish-green ones.
Loved watching this…Amazing to see what you can find on the ground at night I would love to go there… Greenland is my number one location in the world for fluorescent minerals, I’m from the uk with a keen interest in collecting UV specimens for my own collection thanks for sharing.
She's not using a longwave, and shortwave light. Both lights she is using are longwave. The one light is a filtered C8 convoy 365nm light. The smaller light she is using is a 395nm unfiltered longwave light. Poor comparison when you aren't using what is stated.
They were all amazing. If I could’ve taken home suitcases of them I would have. And yes the bugs were horrific they only really died down after the end of August
What a fun place and you don't gave any nay sayers buzzong in youe ear. Welcome back. Keep the goodness coming. ... humm, humm if they only had a brainchild 😁😷⚒😜
You have the lights mixed up my dear, the short wave is the bigger light with a blue colour (365nm) and the little one is the long wave (395nm) with a purple colour. Short wave (blue light) is the best for 99 percent of fluorescent gems 👍 well done anyways! Love your vids!.
Purple may be fluorite? Have always wanted to try something like this out of curiosity at the Arkansas state park for diamonds! great info on the UV light wave differences.
@@ElleyKnowsRocks Have also wanted to try it out on a local creek which diamonds are found in by local goldpanners but is way too spooky out there at night! lol
If the sodalite is blue then yes a UV Longwave lite is a really good trick to be able to tell the difference between the two especially if your eye is not trained for it. Also taking a long way of UV light to places like gem shows and things like that can really help you tell the difference whether the rock is what someone says it is or if it’s not. :)
@bcvids9 Lapis Lazuli from all the specimens I've seen have Scapolite in them (yellow glow) but can also contain FS Sodalite as well but regular Sodalite that looks like Lapis Lazuli, being Blue, won't flouresce, if that helps. 👍
The light you have is a longwave light. The problem is that it's the incorrect wavelength. The light you have is a 395nm light. You need a 365nm filtered light for hunting fluorescent minerals. The larger light she has is a filtered 365nm Convoy c8. That is the correct light. Where she is wrong is shortwave flashlights are in their infancy. Litterally just became available. You can't purchase them in stores. They are only being made by people in the fluorescent minerals trade. They are also pretty expensive. They are currently pretty dangerous. Goggles, and covered skin is necessary. Although you should always wear uv goggles with any UV light. Many good 365NM filtered lights are available you don't have to pay more than $50
Misleading title, the lady doesn't know the diff from longwave to shortwave. She probly read the title of the flashlight on amazon & started re describing the same here without having real knowledge.

I want to get a black light display case. My house is just too small right now for everything but someday!!

It's a UV Beast not the convoy
@@attilathorbjornsson1519 That is NOT a UV Beast. Terry is correct. It is a Convoy C8.
@@tonyv3853 yep, I just watched it again, you're correct -I was mistaken.
Oh Elley...you are a find! I'm in Western Colorado, USA if you ever want a guide.
WOW! I can't wait to see what else you find on this trip! That one with the reddish-orange @14:19 is amazing! The bugs looks pretty rough there, dang!
They were all amazing. If I could’ve taken home suitcases of them I would have. And yes the bugs were horrific they only really died down after the end of August
So cool! I learned something! I didn't know about the long wave UV...the blinding ones are INSANE!
Those are beautiful, can you put a link it the description where to buy the long wave UV light??
Thanks!!
I just put two links up there
@@ElleyKnowsRocks
Thanks, i just bought the S3 !!
Another fun adventure. Thanks for letting us tag along. Love the uv and rock glow. Keep having fun and be careful on those rocks. 😷⚒
Thank you for watching
Look out leprechauns she’s afta ya gold! Lol
That tiny one was a mini sun!
Quite striking. Glad you had a good trip. Live while you can. :-)
Thank you so much! I’m living to my fullest /)
@@ElleyKnowsRocks Do it while your body lets you enjoy it. Just be careful.
I find them in upper Michigan we call them Yooperlites here I have a lot of they on my You tube channel. Nice video ❤
What a fun place and you don't gave any nay sayers buzzong in youe ear. Welcome back. Keep the goodness coming. ... humm, humm if they only had a brainchild 😁😷⚒😜
If you want large blocks of fluorescent sodalite go to the Ilimaussaq complex.
You would be jealous of the ones me and my friends found up towards our river here in Ontario Canada boulders of it lol

That would be an amazing place to try a black light. As some diamonds do fluoresce bright white :)
@@ElleyKnowsRocks Have also wanted to try it out on a local creek which diamonds are found in by local goldpanners but is way too spooky out there at night! lol
That would be Feldspar glowing purple or blue or salmon color
brilliant mate long waves the go luv ya work bud cheers
Thank you so much
VERY NICE
Is a longwave UV light the easiest way to differentiate between sodalite and lapis lazuli?
If the sodalite is blue then yes a UV Longwave lite is a really good trick to be able to tell the difference between the two especially if your eye is not trained for it. Also taking a long way of UV light to places like gem shows and things like that can really help you tell the difference whether the rock is what someone says it is or if it’s not. :)
@@ElleyKnowsRocks Thx!😁👍 I've officially asked for a long wav UV light for Christmas
Not all blue Sodalite is fluorescent. Blue is most likely non-fluorescent.
@bcvids9 Lapis Lazuli from all the specimens I've seen have Scapolite in them (yellow glow) but can also contain FS Sodalite as well but regular Sodalite that looks like Lapis Lazuli, being Blue, won't flouresce, if that helps. 👍
@@attilathorbjornsson1519 Thank you!👍
I need to get me a Long Wave UV light! I learned that the UV light I bought is a short wave...grrr
Oh that sucks!!! Short wave UV lights are good for some minerals but not most :(

Iluminas tu mano con una luz UVC? ... sin protección en los ojos? Jugando con cancer!
You are so beautiful and love what you do
