Magnaflux UV-A 365 Torchlight (SKU: 631942)
The Magnaflux UV-A 365 Torchlight is a powerful, long-lasting UV-A LED light built for fluorescent non-destructive testing in the tightest spaces. Constructed from high-grade aluminum with a tempered black filter lens, it delivers a clean 365nm UV-A beam with minimal visible light — making fluorescent indications easy to spot during penetrant and magnetic particle inspections.
Rechargeable via USB Type-C and rated for a full 8-hour shift on a single charge, the UV-A 365 Torchlight brings the same quality and performance you expect from Magnaflux UV lamps in a compact, field-ready package. An auto shut-off feature prevents battery drain if the torch is left on, and a red indicator light warns when intensity approaches the minimum threshold for reliable inspection.
Key Features
- 365nm UV-A Wavelength: Optimized for exciting fluorescent penetrants and magnetic particles for precise indication detection
- 6,000 µW/cm² Peak Intensity: High-output LED delivers strong UV irradiance at the inspection surface for reliable fluorescent response
- Tempered Black Filter Lens: Reduces visible light to under 1 foot-candle (11 lux) for clearer, higher-contrast inspection results
- 8-Hour Run Time: Full-shift battery life on a single charge — intensity stays above minimum output throughout
- USB Type-C Charging: Convenient on-board charging port for fast, universal recharging in the field or shop
- Auto Shut-Off: Automatically powers down when intensity drops below 1,500–2,000 µW/cm² for 5 minutes to protect battery life
- High-Grade Aluminum Housing: Superior durability and heat dissipation in a compact, lightweight form factor
- Compact & Portable: 125mm overall length — ideal for confined spaces, tight welds, and field inspection work
Getting Reliable Results with the UV-A 365 Torchlight: The torchlight is rated at 6,000 µW/cm² peak intensity at 15 inches (38 cm) — but coverage diameter at the ASTM-minimum 1,000 µW/cm² threshold is 3 inches (7.62 cm). For thorough coverage, use slow, overlapping passes and keep the torch at a consistent distance from the surface.
Watch the indicator light: when it turns red, intensity has dropped below 1,500–2,000 µW/cm² and the torch will auto shut-off within 5 minutes. Stop the inspection and recharge before continuing — inspecting with insufficient UV intensity is a common cause of missed indications and non-conformances.
Always allow a minimum 1-minute dark adaptation period before beginning fluorescent inspection. Even with a high-output torch, your eyes need time to adjust to the darkened environment to reliably detect dim indications.
Applications
- Fluorescent liquid penetrant testing (PT) in confined and field locations
- Fluorescent magnetic particle testing (MT) spot inspections
- Weld inspection in tight or overhead positions
- Aerospace and industrial component inspection
- Quality control inspections requiring portable UV lighting
