Discover and explore the world of fluorescent minerals with our affordable field lamp. Our combo lamp comes with shortwave and longwave bulbs, as well as a quick-switch LED white light to use as a flashlight for nighttime mineral hunting.
90% of fluorescent minerals only fluoresce under shortwave, and filtered shortwave reduces the visible light emitted by the bulb, making this lamp an efficient and valuable tool.
Uses: Shortwave - Rockhounding, mineral display, stamp collecting, science/medical research, counterfeit detection, and much more. Longwave – some rockhounding and mineral collection, scorpion collecting, fluid and stain detection, and much more.
This must have for any rockhound also includes three fluorescent specimens and UV safety glasses.
