I ended up with that $8 cheap 12 LED UV one from Lighthound. Works quite well. Spiders and their webs do not light up at night with it, though.
Only powerful flashlights will do. So I keep telling my wife, "If you want to find the spiders more easily, we'll need a more powerful flashlight."

Sorry about that, Ed! Seeing webs is definitely going to be a challenge for any light, but I will keep doing my research. Who knows, if we find the filaments reflect IR, then we'll equip your wife with night vision optics
Some of my small lights, the modified Peli MityLite with a magnet in the rear-end is mostly used at work (Don't use an all-metal-light in areas/inside modules with exposed power-lines, that is a disaster waiting to happen!)
After reading this thread when the activity have brought it to my attention, a Surefire L7 and an E1L Outdoorsman is on their way.
Very curious about the LED-performance!
And not so easy to get these lights here, but found them on Ebay, and hope they will arrive in time and manner as expected!
Actually, the O2 of the flashlight world is called "The Beast," by Surefire.
Check this out: 2000 Lumens light output, runs on 20 CR123 batteries for 90 minutes, then it's time to battery up again! Light output is equivalent to 130 2D cell flashlights.
Yep. $4,800 USD!!! Why Oh Why Oh Why??? Do HID street lamps even cost that much?
Maybe it's that additional array of 12 white LEDs that makes it so pricey. Ha!

If you think the the Surefire Beast is expensive, checkout Surefire's most powerful flashlight the Hellfire which was at one time only able to the military. I was told by a friend of mines who has seen the Hellfire and Beast side by side, he tells me that the beam from the Hellfire makes the Beast look like a maglite. For a cool $6500 USD you too can have one:

You may be joking, but my wife hates spiders so much that she would probably be willing to wear the optics if it made a difference.
The UV light is a lot of fun. Good for checking for counterfeit bills too.

Well I believe if it can run 2k lumens for 2 hours straight deserves that price tag!! My old surefire can only handle 20 minutes in high intensity mode.. and the bulb dies after around 9-10 uses...

Ed - I never joke about surveillance - you know that
We will research this. The solution may be you driving ahead of her with a big-a*s IR Illuminator on thje roof and her wearing NODs...LOL...there's gotta be an easier way...
Cool; nice choice! I am sure that you will now begin to sleep during the day and begin roaming your neighborhood at night just to use your new purchases! Now that you've got the stubby lil' power lights covered, Ed, when are you going to try one of the powerhouse tacticals like U2 or Aviator? You can justify it to wifey since the spiderwbs will melt in front of the beam (JK).
