Ultra violet torch, the brightest (100 LED lights)

Summary

Its large head (3 inches diameter contains 100 L.E.D. UV lights).

The effect is that you can scan large areas, e.g. walk around the house to see where your cat has urinated; look at a large painting in an art gallery (the beauty of UV light is that it's non-destructive); pick out uranium glass out of hundreds of items, find interesting rows of beads amongst hundreds.

Of course, it works fine for checking one banknote or one porcelain vase.
