The NiteCore GEM10UV is a professional lamp for identifying, inspecting and researching fluorescent gemstones. This lamp is a real must-have for jewelers and gemstone lovers. The lamp is equipped with an Ultraviolet lamp that produces a maximum of 3000 mW / 365 nm ultraviolet light. With the unique rotary switch, the GEM10UV is continuously adjustable between 3000 mW and 5 mW. Perfect for checking for authenticity and spotting any flaws or cracks in the stone. The LED is mounted directly behind the lens to minimize light loss. That is nice when you are going to examine diamond rings, for example.
The lamp works on 1 x 18650 or 2 x CR123 batteries. On a fully charged 18650 battery, the lamp burns for a maximum of 500 hours at the lowest setting. At the highest setting you have to replace the battery after about 4 hours and 15 minutes.
This lamp has an aluminum housing so that the lamp is low in weight and the lamp does not overheat. The lamp is easy to hold and operation is simple, even with gloves on. You will find a handy ruler on the side of the GEM10UV.
