The Freedom Package isn't the Platform for UV
"On a positive note, this device does output 365nm, and so can be used (somewhat) for currency detection, charging phosphors, and detection, but the downside seems to be that the Freedom electronic control diminishes the raw output power to the LED. Compared to the Photon I UV model, the Freedom output was substantially less, even after a change of cells. Of course, this could be due to the specific LED, but I suspect there is a loss in output due to the circuitry. And, thinking about the use of a UV microlight, why would someone want the dimmable and other mode features of the Freedom. I bought both and another 395nm microlight for comparison, and found the more economical Photon I to work best for my purposes, providing a strong enough UV output. . . the Freedom output was too weak, and the 395nm device couldn't do the job."
