Does this light detect ringworm?

A quick answer is, I don't know. I don't have ringworm or a suitable fluor around 360 nm to test it on. However, the Woods lamp that is used in vet offices etc has a rough range of 330-390 nm with an optimal wavelength around 365. It appears this works well for most ringworm that can be analyzed this way (bearing in mind that not all ringworms fluoresce or are diagnosed this way). The LED in question is 395 nm, which is about 30 from the Woods lamp optimum. Since most uv lights have a range of at leeast 10-30 nm, this one might work, but again, it might not. It is inexpensive, and can detect scorpions by the manufacturers demo, so maybe it would work. There is probably a difference in intensity from the woods lamp, since that one is a higher power, though the LED (and 21 of those) are pretty intense also...Its cheap enough that if it didn't work, you've lost $9, $15 with shipping...sorry I can't be more specific and say yes. But it really depends on the ringworm and at what wavelength it fluoresces...I did medline and pubmed searches but couldn't find anything more specific.

I didn't get very good results with this. Try Nail-Tek ... that worked for me. But I didn't have ring worm I had nail fungus.

No, it does not. It lights up on the mode it is on. When changing brightness levels there is no indicator but you can see the general change.

no it is a bug zapper with a black light in it... works better for me than a white light... you have to plug it in....I hope that helps

Organic material will be detected by the UV light regardless of where it's located...so, yes.

That depends on the circuitry of the light. They did not perform well with the 10 watt LEDs as the bleed through was enough to cause the LED light to pulse. I had my best luck with the Hubbell motion detectors. Direct wire, no problems. While they are almost twice the price, they function well where all the others failed. I spent more money trying to find one that worked.

The model I got had a motion detector on it and it works beautifully. Very bright!

Yes! If the cartridges don't attract them the light will but I've seen moths, beetles and others zapped. Works very well!

Yes, It does. I had to send mine back because it gave me sores that mirrored the light pattern on the device.

No, it measures foot candle power and lux, which is the amount of light given at a certain distance away from the light source.

Yes, it has a light. It is hard to handle and you actually have to dismember your flower, in order to use the scope. I would suggest something you can use (while your product is still on the plant).

I use the color checker for everything from macro ring lights. Studio lighting, etc and combinations of any two sources. There's no way of knowing accurate colors otherwise. I see huge differences - to me.

I never thought about using it for that. Black light is used to detect phosphorous in Scorpions primarily, but does have other applications. It can show bacteria in a bathroom for instance. I see no reason why it shouldn't be able to detect dog urine in a carpet. However, I am not a scientist and can't be sure. If the product doesn't perform you can return it.

Ya know, while I wasn't looking for mold, I think any UV light will make mold fluoresce. It has something to do with the wavelength of the light and the biologics in the mold. So double check this light's nanometer spectrum of light before buying. I'm thinking this model would detect mold. However, I'm not sure what color mold fluoresces. The tough part is so many things light up sometimes you don't know what you're looking at. Comet (the cleaner) fluoresces. Lots of minerals in cleaning solutions glow. Glue. Lint. It's pretty dizzying in certain areas. I found that the "pattern" of whatever is glowing is just as important - if not more - than the glow. Mice and rat urine trails almost always start with a wider more circular area then "trail" in a direction while diminishing in presence. I would think mold, undetectable in natural light, would glow in a pattern that looks like mold growth. Hope this helps and good luck.

hello . yes it will certainly detect the ring if it were me i would run the all metal mode first . if the ring is in water dont let the control box get in the water. it must stay dry. not sure about salt water searching though, probably not the best choice for the wet side of the salt water beach . hope this helps and good luck !

Yes. It has both a light sensor AND motion sensor. It must be a bit dark AND some motion for it to light up.

It will test 1/4" TS (tip/sleeve) and 1/4" TRS (tip/ring/sleeve), yes - there are lights for each of the three contacts.
