NEBO Torchy UV Flashlight
Our Torchy UV flashlight is the versatile pocket tool you didn’t know you needed. With 10 powerful white LEDs delivering 80 lumens of bright light plus 4 dedicated UV blacklight LEDs, this rechargeable flashlight tackles everyday tasks and specialized detection work alike.
Whether you’re inspecting hotel rooms for cleanliness, authenticating currency and documents, detecting pet stains, or checking for refrigerant leaks, the Torchy UV gives you professional-grade UV and visible light in one compact package. The integrated rechargeable battery charges via micro-USB, and the durable aluminum body with pocket clip travels anywhere you do.
- 10 bright white LEDs producing 80 lumens for everyday lighting tasks
- 4 ultraviolet LEDs for blacklight detection and authentication
- Rechargeable lithium-ion battery with micro-USB charging port
- Durable anodized aluminum construction withstands daily use
- Removable steel pocket clip for secure carry on belts, pockets, or bags
White LED & UV Blacklight Technology
The Torchy UV features two distinct lighting systems in one compact tool. The 10 white LEDs deliver 80 lumens of bright, focused light perfect for everyday tasks like finding items in dark spaces, reading maps, or performing close-up repair work. The separate UV mode activates 4 dedicated ultraviolet LEDs that emit blacklight wavelengths invisible to the naked eye.
This UV blacklight capability reveals what standard flashlights can’t see. Use it to detect pet urine stains on carpets and furniture, verify the authenticity of currency and identification documents, locate refrigerant leaks with fluorescent dye, or spot scorpions that fluoresce under UV light. Professional technicians, hotel inspectors, and pet owners rely on the Torchy UV’s dual-mode design for verification tasks that require both standard illumination and specialized detection.
Rechargeable Battery & Runtime
We built the Torchy UV with an integrated lithium-ion battery that recharges via the included micro-USB cable. Simply plug into any USB power source—wall adapter, laptop, power bank, or car charger—and the onboard battery replenishes in approximately 2-3 hours.
The rechargeable design eliminates the ongoing cost and inconvenience of replacing disposable batteries. White LED mode provides up to 2 hours of continuous runtime on a full charge, while UV mode offers approximately 1.5 hours of blacklight operation. The compact battery system keeps the overall length at just 4.25 inches, maintaining the Torchy UV’s pocket-friendly profile.
Construction & Portability Features
Durable Aluminum Body
The Torchy UV’s anodized aluminum construction delivers professional-grade durability in a lightweight package. The aerospace-grade aluminum body resists impacts, scratches, and corrosion while keeping the overall weight to just 2.1 ounces. We apply a hard anodized finish that protects the surface from daily wear and provides a secure grip even in wet conditions.
Pocket Clip & Carry Options
The removable steel pocket clip attaches securely to the flashlight body, letting you clip it to shirt pockets, pants pockets, tool belts, or backpack straps. The clip orientation keeps the Torchy UV readily accessible yet secure during movement. When you prefer a more streamlined profile, simply remove the clip for jacket pocket or bag storage.

Common Questions About the Torchy UV
The Torchy UV features two separate button controls—one for the 10 white LEDs and one for the 4 UV LEDs. Press the front button to activate the white light mode, or press the rear button to turn on UV blacklight mode. Each mode operates independently, so you won’t accidentally cycle through unwanted settings.
You can use either mode separately or activate both simultaneously if you need combined visible and UV illumination for specialized tasks.
The Torchy UV’s blacklight is effective for detecting pet urine stains on carpets and upholstery, verifying currency and identification documents using UV security features, locating refrigerant and automotive fluid leaks when used with fluorescent dye, and spotting scorpions that fluoresce under UV light.
Many bodily fluids, cleaning product residues, and industrial materials also fluoresce under UV light. For best results, use the UV mode in darkened rooms where the fluorescence will be most visible against the background.
White LED mode provides approximately 2 hours of continuous runtime on a full charge, while UV mode offers about 1.5 hours of blacklight operation. Actual runtime varies based on environmental conditions and usage patterns.
The integrated lithium-ion battery recharges in 2-3 hours using the included micro-USB cable connected to any standard USB power source. A charging indicator light shows when the battery is replenishing and when charging is complete.
The Torchy UV features water-resistant construction that protects against splashes, rain, and brief water exposure during normal use. The sealed design keeps internal components safe from moisture during outdoor activities or damp work environments.
However, the Torchy UV is not rated for full submersion or underwater use. Avoid dropping it in water or using it in heavy downpours for extended periods. The water resistance focuses on protecting the electronics from incidental exposure rather than providing dive-rated waterproofing.
No, the Torchy UV cannot operate while connected to the charging cable. Disconnect the micro-USB cable from the flashlight before activating either the white LED or UV mode.
We recommend keeping the battery charged between uses so your Torchy UV is always ready when needed. The relatively short charging time of 2-3 hours means you can quickly replenish the battery between extended use sessions.
The Torchy UV’s 10 white LEDs produce 80 lumens, which provides excellent illumination for close-range tasks like reading, equipment inspection, navigating dark spaces, and general everyday carry applications. While not designed to compete with high-output tactical lights, the 80-lumen output is ideal for the Torchy UV’s compact size and dual-purpose design.
The focused beam pattern concentrates light where you need it most, making the 80-lumen output feel brighter than you might expect for such a small flashlight. The brightness is comparable to many single-AAA pocket lights while offering the added benefit of UV blacklight capability.
The Torchy UV emits UV-A wavelengths at 395-400 nanometers, the same blacklight spectrum used professionally for document authentication and inspection. Brief UV exposure during typical inspection tasks does not damage paper documents, currency, identification cards, or household surfaces.
For valuable or sensitive items, limit continuous UV exposure to the brief periods needed for inspection. The UV-A wavelengths used in blacklight applications are significantly less energetic than the UV-B and UV-C ranges that cause more rapid degradation of materials.
