First Impressions
Arriving in a nicely packaged retail box, this latest LE torch promises to be another high quality-Low price ultra violet.
This is the bigger brother to the brilliant LE 9LED I reviewed last week.  Instead of 9 we now get 12 black light LED'S to play with.  And like it's little brother it comes with a free set of batteries. All good.
This particular LE offering is a slightly different design to the smaller one with a different style led head and logo placement. The rear tail cap and clicky are the same high quality.
Once again the construction of these LE torches defies the price at the checkout. Simple but rugged these are in my opinion the best brand in hand held (cheap) UV lights at the moment.

Good quality LED Head



Testing:
Although only operating at 395nm on the light spectrum, it can still detect the strange security flecks and marks on banknotes, show up crap on your walls and floors and generally look cool.
The spread of purple light is wide and intense. A shallow reflector means it doesn't throw light over a great distance but these type of lights are really only designed for close work.
In comparison to the LE 9 the spread is a little wider and a brighter with the extra 3 LEDs.
In terms of being waterproof, this torch survived a half hour dip in the water jug with absolutely no internal seal leakage. Dropping this into a sink full of washing up would not pose an problem!
Very good indeed

 Nice spread of light 

Yes Waterproof.
