This hand-held UV torch emits UV light that can cause many materials to glow or fluoresce when they exposed to it. The darker the colour, the more UV rays the materials are detecting.

See the magic!

Use the UV Torch with our UV beads (not included) for an engaging way to explore concepts related to light, colour, and more. Children will be fascinated to see how the beads change colour and glow when it's exposed to UV light. Observe and discuss the colour changes, before exposing to the light, when exposed to the light, and after it is exposed to the light.

The science behind

Objects like the UV beads glow because they absorb the invisible UV radiation and emit a light of a different wavelength that is visible to us as luminescence. Objects that continue to emit light after the source is removed are known as phosphorescent.

Additional Information:

• The torch measures 95mm x 30mm
• The torch requires 3x AAA batteries which is included
• The UV spectrum emitted by this torch is in the long-wave range which is harmless to our skin and eyes but like all light sources, it is never a good idea to shine the torch directly into people's eyes or our own
