UV flashlights have a wide range of applications beyond their primary use in detecting bodily fluids and evidence at crime scenes. Here are some other uses for UV flashlights:

2. **Document and Currency Authentication**:
   - **Banknotes**: Detect UV-reactive security features like threads, watermarks, or serial numbers on cash.
   - **Official Documents**: Authenticate passports, ID cards, or tickets by revealing UV-sensitive marks.

3. **Maintenance and Repairs**:

6. **Creative and Fun Uses**:
   - **Craft Projects**: Create glowing effects on UV-reactive materials like paints or paper.
   - **Party Decorations**: Enhance the ambiance at glow-in-the-dark parties with UV-reactive decorations.
