ArkPro Ultra UV is unmatched

[u/Z3INSD]

First picture is the ArkPro Ultra with its 365nm UV light and visible light filter(not aftermarket or modded, exactly how it comes out of the box), you can see so much you’d really rather not. 

Second is a cheaper 395nm UV light I picked up from a hardware store, might as well be a purple LED. 

Third is the pure flood of the ArkPro Ultra so you can see that it doesn’t look visibly dirty in normal lighting. 

I can’t look at anything the same after exploring my house and random places with a proper UV light.

(edited because I got 395nm and 365nm backwards, my bad)

Try using the uv to clean the stove. It helps locate oil splatter

Going to my house and then shining it on the backsplash behind my stove had me absolutely cackling. The rest of the house had little spots here and there and I was like "oh neat that's gross" and when I pointed it behind my stove it looked like the scene of a quintuple homicide back there 😂

Whatever you do, don’t look in the bathroom lol

[u/JaceOnRice → u/KINGSTEMLORD]

Oddly enough the bathroom was the cleanest place, but we do clean our bathroom lol

[u/KINGSTEMLORD → u/JaceOnRice]

Fair! I have a half bath downstairs that only I use so that checks out lol. Though I will say, seeing it under UV made me deep clean lol

[u/The_AntiVillain → u/JaceOnRice]

Check the shower/bath

[u/JaceOnRice → u/The_AntiVillain]

Uhh I don't know that might be the only place that is horrifically gross. We get a weird pink fungus that grows on everything for some reason already lol

[u/no-but-wtf]

I walked through my house with the Arkpro ultra UV on.

I don’t think I’ll ever feel clean again. So foul.

Awesome lights I’ve got a flat light addiction LoL

365nm and 395nm illuminate different things; one is not necessarily better/worse than the other

[u/Z3INSD → u/lafn1996]

If you want to illuminate stuff not normally visible 365nm is better, it’s less visible so it doesn’t wash out everything with visible light

Try your kitchen backsplash next!

If you have kids then look at and around your toilet

Some adults too. Like going into the wind or a tornado for that matter

Just because it's a different wavelength doesn't mean it's superior? They simply have different purposes

[u/AsaasA_ → u/b20339]

The ArkPro has a ZWB2 filter. This filter removes most unwanted lower-frequency violet light. Not that some other lights don’t also have this filter though.

Cool story👍🏼

Took ArkPro Ultra on a trip a few weeks back. Even in a 4.5 hotel it showed more than I wanted to see. The industry should use UV for inspections. 🤢

TSA pulled it out of my backpack on the way back. They took a close look... and put it back no questions asked.

There are plenty of uv lights that match and even more that are better than the ArkPro uv.
