UV Flashlight FAQ
Why use a UV flashlight instead of sunlight to charge glow in the dark?
Sunlight works well but varies depending on the weather, time of day and season. A UV flashlight gives you a reliable, consistent charge any time - indoors or out, day or night. Just hold it close to the surface for 10-30 seconds and you're good to go.
Why is my glow in the dark paint glowing weaker than usual?
The most likely cause is a depleted UV flashlight battery. Even when the light appears to work, low batteries reduce UV output significantly. Replace the batteries and recharge your piece - the glow should return to full strength.
Does glow in the dark pigment & paint start glowing instantly?
Yes - the moment light hits the pigment, it starts storing energy and will glow the second the lights go off. There's no minimum charge time. The longer you expose it to light, the longer it will glow.
How long does glow-in-the-dark art glow after a full UV flashlight charge?
Glow duration depends on the colour. The brightest pigments (green, yellow and cyan) can glow for up to 18 hours after a full charge, medium colours such as orange around 10-12 hours, and deeper tones around 8 hours. All colours recharge instantly and never wear out.For exact performance by colour, refer to the product images or description.
