Good throw on fresh batteries, the scorpions are oblivious to it, and that's all that matters. So far, the best light for me is still the generic, clunker 51 LED AA3 light I bought on scam-bay last year for about $15. I PM'd Nailbender, but I didn't buy his UV because I wasn't convinced it was a different wavelength than the one from from Battery Junction. I tried Battery Junction's UV drop-in, and the wavelength was all wrong - instead of making scorpions glow purple, they glowed yellow and ran as soon as the light hit them. The Inova lights don't throw nearly far enough, and I'd be wary of the wavelengths. I live in Phoenix, AZ in a residential neighborhood. ![]() First, so you know I'm serious about this topic, I've found (and exterminated) 148 scorpions since March 20, when they first came out here. I'm with you on the scorpion dilemma, and after using a generic UV light last year I started the quest for a better light this year by asking a similar question on cpf and got almost no response, so I went ahead on my own and tried different lights to get something that will work. The body of the light is water resistant so it can even be worn in the shower. The light features a custom black quick-release keyring for easy attachment to gear, and a necklace clip is included to allow the light to be worn around the neck. The Photon 'Scorpion Finder' is so small it can easily be carried at all times, to always be close at hand when needed. One unique feature of nearly all scorpions however, is that their bodies will fluoresce brightly under any UV light, which makes Photon's keychain-sized 'Scorpion Finder' perfect for sweeping dark rooms in the middle of the night to check for scorpions before climbing into bed, putting on boots, going to the bathroom, taking a shower, or just reaching into dark places. In fact, Iraq's "Death Stalker" Scorpion has one of the most toxic scorpion stings on earth. The deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan are home to a number of different species of scorpions, many of which are highly toxic and pose a very real medical risk to humans stung by the scorpion. Photon's "Scorpion Finder" is a customized Photon Freedom Micro with a purple 'blacklight' beam, featuring an ACU 'Army Combat Uniform' camouflage body for full compliance with military uniform regulations.
