I finally got into a position where I need an ultraviolet light and I found this forum posting from back in 2020 that was quite informative:
thestampforum.boards.net/thread/6801/shortwave-uv-lamp-recommendation
So based on that I found theses two units today on that big auction site that some people love and some people curse:
Yeah...I bought both the LS-4 and the LS-7. Couldn't pass them up being in the original boxes. The LS-7 was sold as "not working". He said it would not turn on. I asked him if he held the button down for a good long second or two and he said "No. I'm guessing I was too impatient." I'm guessing that is why it is "not working." I took a chance and bought it. It also came with the optional battery pack.

I don't think I got the stand with the LS-4. I may have to fab up one for one or both of them.
I'll tell you right now I probably overpaid for the LS-7. It got just into 3 digits. The LS-4 was a bit more reasonable at $30 shipped. For all of you buying these in the past for $5...good luck with that today.
