Electric/ rechargeable UV curing light

[RonKolman]

Has anyone used an electric or rechargeable UV curing light to cure UV resin on your flies? If so, can you recommend a product?

I do, I use the Loon light that is rechargable. It works great, lasts long enough & charges easily as long as you don't lose the cord!.

Depends on the material but I use battery powered lights.
1 for Tuffleye, 1 for Loon and 1 for CCG

I recently bought O-light's UV flashlight and really like it. It uses a standard AA sized battery. I already had a bunch of the rechargeable eneloop batteries and prefer them to the USB charger type, so this works well for me.

Thanks for the information!!! I have been looking at the O-lights, it seems they make several models! Can you tell me which model you purchased? Thanks for your help!

I use mainly flashlights for my curing. I have four. The original CCG light is pretty much shot and used a very expensive battery.. I have a Loon light and two others that use either AAA or AA batteries. One I picked up at a local hardware store and the other at Harbor Freight. One thing I found out is that you don't need a specific light for each brand of UV resin. Any of the flashlights I have will cure the brand of UV resin that I'm using.
I also picked up a plug in UV light at Michaels. I can fit 4 or 5 flies under it. It has a button that will run the light for a minute. I use it to remove the tackiness you often get with any of the UV resins. If I'm in a hurry I'll use rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to get rid of the tackiness. Still a lot quicker and less messy than using epoxy or head cement.

I, too, use the Loon rechargable light. Works great. Easy to use. Have had it for about 4 years now, so far, no issues.
