I would proceed with caution on that purchase. From the many many reviews on all the new blood tracker lights you may not be as happy as Honna? I'm glad he is satisfied but that's not the norm. Most folks say the white/flash light is pretty good but the "Blood Detecting" enhancement feature leaves something to be desired.

Primos and Gerber both have placed a so called blood enhancement light on the market and both have taken a beating in the reviews. For what it's worth consider this. Enhancing the ability to see blood is not a new consept. Police Investigators have been utilizing this technology for years, it is called "Alternate Light Source" The kit they use cost from roughly $5000-$10,000 depending on the features you want. The concept is not as simple as shinning a red blue or green light onto blood and making it more visible. Yes it does use those and other colors of light hence the box of filters and the different color glasses that come with it but it really has to do with the wave length of the light you are shinning on the substance.The kit also comes with Luminol which isa light-producing chemical that reacts tohemoglobin carried in blood. I know that way more info that needed but my point is even with all junk most CSI folks will tell you it doesn't work very well. It nothing like TV I promise. Several years ago when gerber came out with their version of the light I went to a CSI professional and posed the Gerber light to him. He along with numerous career CSI professionals laughed me out of the office.

So, I truly mean what I said about being glad Honna was happy with his light.Nothing sucks more than buying a gadget and it failing in the field. Bottom line, I suggest you take it to the field before throughout the receipt.
