Do any shops sell UV Torchs

Looking for a Torch that is normal but has UV with it

Had a look around but can not find any shops that sell them

I know Amazon sell them but do any normal shops you can go in sell them?

Budget around £10

    We live in a world where we can not buy a product from a shop anymore



    Not sure where you live but I have loads of shops near me that sell stuff I can walk in off the street and buy.


    Not knowing your local shops make it impossible to advise you, so 2 option's for you

    1 - go into your local stores and ask. Might be worth trying the more likely ones first rather than the local bakers for example.

    2 - do a Web search and see if you can find a result that matches a local store you know

    Surprised you cannot find that sort of tat in a local market thrift stall.
    Otherwise £3.59 delivered 1st class for similar 5-led device (inc batteries) as seen in YT vid, which is definitely not a dual lightsource torch:

    Highly unlikely you will find a high street shop shifting a dual lightsource torch for a tenner.

    Do you want to use a £10 UV torch to look for urine stains rather than zap covid?
    If so, then consider a £1.20 under-budget online purchase:
    £8.79 delivered allowing for on-page 40% discount and £3.99 delivery:
    amazon.co.uk/che…4G/
    with free return if you don't like the feel of the tool in your hand.

    It may not be the ideal solution but for £8.79 and no travel costs it's a no-brainer.

    It is to charge a watch face light up, YouTube says use a uv light and it will go bright then with sun light

    Not clear why you specify a dual lightsource device for that application;
    not clear what specific UV frequency(s) you require for that application;
    not clear what Lumen spec you require for that application.

    That's what you wanted it for, charging a watch lume?

    Seriously, any bright light up close for a few seconds will do the same. Yes I have tried it, yes I also have UV torches and yes I have watches and other things that "glow" once charged by light, they all work the same with a super bright led torch as they do with UV.

    Wanted a touch with it

    Bright light does but takes 5 minutes +

    UV is instant charge and it lasts longer

    I usually use the torch on my phone (before I go to bed, I know, I'm one of those weirdos who wears a watch to bed). That's a lumibrite (Seiko / Pulsar) watch, though.

    5 mins........ I disagree

    Anyways, if that's what you want then it's your choice
