Streamlight 65069 Stylus UV LED Pen Light with 3-AAAA Batteries - Black | Portable UV Flashlight for Inspection, Currency Verification & Leak Detection | Ideal for Mechanics, Electricians & Home Use

For all the people looking for a honest review look no further. I use the UV Streamlight to authenticate Driver's Licenses & Identification Cards. I work at a bar in Atlantic City & check hundreds & close to thousands of id's a night. I can tell you that this is the only blacklight i will use. its small so it's easy to handle. easy to work because it is push activated or you can turn the cap and it can stay locked on if there is a long line of people. The output beam is bright enough to where you don't have to hold it too close to the ID in order to see the holograms. If you're looking to get this for the same reasons i do, i highly recommend getting this piece of equipment. I've shown countless people how to use this to find fake ID's & every bartender, bouncer, & manager i've shown now have the same blacklight in their bars. It's a must.The only downfalls:1) The batteries last a while if you only push activate the pen. however, if you keep it locked to the on position, the battery will drain quickly. Not saying in a night or two but i use this thing 6-7 hours a night for 4 days a week & i have to replace the batteries maybe once every 4 weeks. A 2 pack of batteries cost $3.00 at a CVS store to replace so it's not bad.2) Try not to drop it, bang it into things, throw it up in the air to catch it, etc. I dropped my very first one on several occasions because i was messing around & It would fall onto the ground/ concrete & after a couple times, as you can imagine, the pen would only work every so often. The light would dim, replacement batteries wouldnt work, etc. I'm pretty sure it isnt the sturdiest thing & if you bang it up, the mechanics will suffer. Long story short, keep it in your pocket when you aren't using it.those are really the only downfalls. i would definitely recommend this pen if you work in the nightlife industry and want to keep underage kids out of your bar. but don't think it's full proof. brush up on fake id's, they are getting good now-a-days and you need to know real holograms from fake.
