Is this light good for use in hotel rooms for detecting "nasty" stains ??

Only if you really want to see the "nasty stains" it works REALLY well so you may see more than you want to.

I'm not sure about all stains, but I checked it on carpet stains and they glow brightly.

On "The Doctor's" TV show, the GYN/OB doctor was emphatic that despite the fact that washing your underwear (male & female) in very hot water is the only safe way to wash them. I am a washing guru and got sick of the elastic dying in all of our expensive briefs and panties, I looked for a better way to get them clean without destroying them. I already knew that Oxi-clean pre-wash was the very best pre-wash for areas that have any residue left by a human. The peroxide in the Oxi-clean may not remove old stains in cotton briefs, but it kills the germs and the product that was left on the clothes. That includes the residue left by all adults in their underwear, blood, perspiration and I am certain any "nasty" material. FYI, if the item is white, spraying extra 100% peroxide will strengthen the pre-wash. I won't explain how I did the various tests, but using a black light showed any "discharges", stool racing strips in young boy's briefs, and blood stains, so that I knew exactly where to spray each item. After washing in warm water, the black light showed that the residues I found before washing and using the pre-wash were gone. Keep in mind however, that there are a lot of other things that "glow" on clothes. Certain clothes detergents leave tiny white spots on some clothes, and I have found numerous other things can leave glowing spots, but it is easy to tell the difference between the odd item glowing and the "nasties" that you would be looking for. Some Housekeeping Supervisors use black lights to check sheets in a room that has "supposedly" been cleaned. It is an easy way to see if the top sheet has simply been switched and placed as the bottom sheet, and a new one is placed on top. I will always bring my black light with me to hotels or timeshares. Have great vacations! P.S. When you read the information from Manufacturer near the bottom of the page that fully describes the light, it lists "semen" as something it shows you.

Yes it is, if you really want to see things you may not be able to do anything about. Be sure and use some amber glasses to enhance the grossness. Keep in mind that not everything that shows up is necessarily "nasty".

Works at my home bathrooms, so ought to for hotel rooms....if you truly want to see those nasties, that is.

This is ere I am using it. LED light is NOT supposed to attract bugs and has MUCH lower power consumption. Hope this helps!

Correct. This is an emergency power failure light. Its main purpose is to provide you some light for a few hours, so that you can get to safety or find some other light sources. It is not powerful enough to light up a room or to last overnight. For that you'll need an LED lantern that runs on D cells.

I used a standard motion/light detector with two of these and it works fine. Not sure that only 1 10W light will work as there is a minimum turn on requirements. You need to look at the minimum load turn on specification. The alternative is to buy this light, but already has the light/motion sensor built in. They are just a few dollars more. These do not create bright white light, like for reading. Also make sure the wire length is long enough for your application. I got fooled and some wires were only 6" long on some lights I bought.

It is mostly a focused light. For most desk purposes like general lighting it would not be adequate.

The light emitted does not illuminate very far, only a few inches. As long as the lines are void of fluid, short, and not very sharp turns/curves, this might work for you.

It might be, mine is in the kitchen w/a nightlight. It works great though. I have multiple things in my bedroom that have I indicator lights and I just put some dark nail polish on them, you can still see it glow but it is not bright enough to bother sleeping

I can see pet stains pretty well even with a room that is dimly lit, but it does work best with all the lights off. Even with some light still coming in the window though it works great

I wouldn't recommend it. It is bright enough for a car interior but not in a room to illuminate pictures or art. You wouldn't see the light and it will most likely die if left on for a prolonged period of time.

Only if its not a well lit room..if the room has a lot of sunlight this light wont really show

For the price yes. Just like all the others you will need external ir lights. I've used it on couple cases, inside, and it worked great. Outside not so good.

I have never looked for that, but if you watch Forensic Files or something like it they use it for that. Just be advised, the stains will show with just the light but if you buy some yellow glasses (they show commercials on TV for them to help with night vision, I bought some at Walgreens) the stains will glow brightly. Much easier to see with the yellow or amber glasses.

No. I love this light, but do not think it would be good for reading unless there are other iight sources in the room.
2263367
Yes. That's what we were using it for. That being said, the light this thing kicks out is harsh....really harsh to the point of hurting your eyes as you read the notes. It's value is in it's portability. It's much better as an emergency source of light than something to read music by.

Hello Albert, there is not easy way to know that from the device, I can tell you the light is good enough for emergency light. I have one in my room and one in my living room at ceiling leavel and so far I had used them twice and they clearly illuminate a 5 meters x 6 meters room.Sorry I am not able to answer your question directly.

It's definitely bright enough for using as an under cabinet light. You can adjust the angle/direction to get the response you want.I do find it comes on with minimal movement, but that is what I want. If I didn't I'd find a way to turn it or partially cover the sensor to make it less sensitive.

Of course it will, any organic stains will fluoresce. In a darkened room it will light up the urine spots on the walls......among other places. :)
