I like the 9w 12v tube style lights... Delta #15020. I use them with a lithium battery pack, to make it completely portable. Years ago, I used nimh packs, made from my old rc racing equipment. 8-)

I also use another light now, that is custom also. In fact, the 9w are now my backup lights. Prob shouldn't be discussed here though LOL :shock:

Has any one tried a standard uv Torch ie 51 led uv torch? And/or would it have the correct curing power?

Thanks

Most UV/LED flashlights (torches) produce significantly above the 365nm wavelength that most modern UV curable windshield repair resins are formulated to be cured with and are therefore not suitable for curing purposes. We have found a few that are advertised as producing 365nm but testing has produced inconsistent results at best. It is possible to cure resin with them, but our testing has left us less than enthusiastic about using them for windshield repair curing.
