Looking for blue led flashlight to view corals. Any suggestions!

Has anyone have or have seen a decent approx460nm led flashlight for sale.

I am wanting to view my corals without tuning on the actinicts after the lights have gone off.

Thanks,
floridareef

Hi floridareef! Sorry I unknowingly stole your name... I use a current powerbrite strip to view my corals at night sometimes. It really gives you a whole new view.

No Worries, So it a strip not a handheld flashlight/

Thanks nixer, checked it out nice, was hoping to find it a little less expensive but it look like you get what you pay for.

Right, it's a strip with four 1w LEDS and it's freakin bright. I think the strip being long would actually allow you to see more. I'm sure both would work well though.

I have the Reef Brite led magnifier this thing is cool for both inspecting coral and actullay lighting them up with Blue and see the color they will look under blue LEDS
Its a pretty nice instrument

i just use a standard ultrabright blue LED and slide a flat 3v battery between the prongs, under $10 and simple
