Streamlight Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting, introduced the rechargeable Stylus Pro USB UV, a sleek, compact penlight that provides ultraviolet (UV) light for detecting engine or HVAC leaks, fraudulent documents, or for use in forensic investigations. The new light also includes a USB port that allows for on-the-go charging.

"The Stylus Pro USB UV gives professionals a real edge with its ultraviolet feature," said Streamlight Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Michael F. Dineen. "Professionals from auto repair and industrial technicians to law enforcement investigators can rely on its UV light to spot otherwise undetectable engine and HVAC leaks, conduct forensic examinations, or detect fraudulent documents. An important added benefit is that this compact light is also USB-rechargeable."

The new model features a 400nm ultraviolet LED with a measured system output of 325 mW and a runtime of 2.5 hours. A purple, water-resistant sliding metal sleeve, which protects the USB port, differentiates the light from the regular Stylus Pro USB model.

Measuring only 6.15 inches in length, the Stylus Pro USB UV weighs 1.9 ounces. IPX4-rated for water-resistant operation, the light is also is impact-resistance tested to one meter. Available in black, it comes packaged with a removable pocket clip and holster.
