 This project builds a high-fidelity **365nm Ultraviolet (UVA)** searchlight. Unlike the purple-tinted "395nm" toys, true 365nm light is nearly invisible until it hits a reactive surface, making it the perfect tool for biological and mineralogical surveys. This project builds a high-fidelity **365nm Ultraviolet (UVA)** searchlight.
