I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Approvals
I searched clear back to 2008 on this board and did not find what I am looking for. I want to try something new, at least to me, and that is to look for tagging. I know I need to obtain at least a short wave lamp, but I want one that has both short and long wave. I have researched all the appropriate places and found all kinds, with various price ranges. I do not want to spend a lot of money, but at the same time, I want one that works well and will last for a while. This question is for those of you who may have experience with ultra violet lamps. Short and simple, what are your suggestions, recommendations?

re: Ultra Violet Lamps

In my younger stamp collecting days, I purchased both the Lighthouse L85 shortwave and the L90 longwave. I have enjoyed them both. However, with the new technology, LED UV lights are becoming available for much lower costs.

Check eBay for "Long Wave UV BLACK LIGHT"
Looks just like Lighthouse L90, but only $9.00 + $4.00 shipping

Check eBay for "5 LED Magnifier with UV Light"
Doesn't say whether short or long wave, but the magnifier feature is interesting.
From England for $8.00 + $12.00 shipping

Have fun
