Ultra violet torch on keyring, 1-LED

Summary

Single L.E.D. with keyring fitting, good quality UV LED, but tiny, it will illuminate a tiny area, you will have to hold it an inch from the object, preferably in very dim light, and you will viewing an area of about 20mm at a time.   

All that said, it does actually work, fine for carefully checking a bank note, not bad for the price...and you can keep it on your keyring.
