FAQ – NEXTORCH Dr. K33 UV ultraviolet lamp
What is the NEXTORCH Dr. K33 UV UV lamp used for?
The NEXTORCH Dr. K33 UV is a professional ultraviolet pen lamp designed to reveal fluorescent elements. It is used in particular for document inspection, verification of banknotes, search for fluorescent evidence and certain forensic investigations. Its 365 nanometre radiation allows observation of markings and details that are not necessarily visible under conventional lighting.
What is the difference between a 365 nm UV lamp and a 395 nm UV lamp?
A 365 nanometre UV lamp emits ultraviolet radiation with a shorter wavelength than a 395 nanometre lamp. Both wavelengths belong to the UVA ultraviolet range, but they do not necessarily cause the same fluorescence depending on the substances being examined. The NEXTORCH K33 UV uses a wavelength of 365 nanometres and a Fine Woods Glass filter designed to reduce stray light to facilitate observation of fluorescent elements.
What is the power of the NEXTORCH K33 UV ultraviolet lamp?
The NEXTORCH K33 UV has an advertised ultraviolet power of 1,300 milliwatts, or 1.3 watts. It emits 365 nanometre radiation, combined with an optical filtration system designed to limit stray light.
What is the purpose of the Fine Woods Glass filter in the NEXTORCH K33 UV?
Fine Woods Glass technology is an optical filtration system designed to reduce stray light emissions accompanying ultraviolet radiation. It thus improves the contrast between fluorescent elements and their environment, facilitating inspection of documents, surfaces and ultraviolet-sensitive evidence.
Does the NEXTORCH K33 UV lamp allow verification of banknotes and identity documents?
Yes. The NEXTORCH K33 UV can be used to observe fluorescent markings on certain banknotes, identity documents and secured media. It provides assistance with visual inspection of their security elements. However, the presence or absence of fluorescence alone is not sufficient to guarantee the authenticity of a document or banknote.
Can the NEXTORCH K33 UV UV lamp detect traces at a crime scene?
The NEXTORCH K33 UV can facilitate the search for evidence or substances displaying fluorescence under 365 nanometre ultraviolet light. In particular, it can assist forensic investigations during inspection of surfaces and documents. However, not all biological traces or fingerprints are directly visible under ultraviolet: some searches require specialist reagents or procedures.
Which battery or batteries should be used with the NEXTORCH K33 UV lamp?
The NEXTORCH K33 UV lamp has a dual power supply system. It can operate with a 10880 format lithium-ion battery or with two AAA batteries. This compatibility allows choice of power source depending on requirements and availability of batteries or battery.
What is the runtime of the NEXTORCH Dr. K33 UV UV lamp?
According to manufacturer information, the runtime of the NEXTORCH Dr. K33 UV exceeds 8 hours in low-power operation with a lithium-ion battery. Actual runtime depends in particular on usage conditions and the power source employed.
Is the NEXTORCH K33 UV pen lamp waterproof?
Yes. The NEXTORCH K33 UV benefits from an IPX7 protection rating, corresponding to resistance to the effects of temporary water immersion under the conditions defined by this rating. Its aluminium housing and this protection make it suited to outdoor inspections and operations in humid environments.
What precautions should be taken with a 365 nm ultraviolet lamp?
A lamp emitting 365 nanometre ultraviolet radiation should be used with caution. Direct exposure of the eyes and skin must be avoided, never look at the light source and do not direct the beam towards a person. Protective eyewear suited to ultraviolet may be necessary depending on usage conditions. The NEXTORCH K33 UV is a detection and inspection tool, not a lamp intended for disinfection or medical treatment.
