The UV-26P series of Ultraviolet Lights from UVP Products are essentially identical to the Raytector 5-2 Lamps by Raytech.  Thus, they are both Portable and Rechargeable, with two side by side ultraviolet bulbs, each producing 6 watts of power.  Like the Raytector 5-2, the UV-26P lamps can be ordered as a combination Short Wave/Long Wave lamp, or just S/W, or just L/W, with a toggle switch activating each side by side bulb, allowing operation of just 1 bulb, or both at the same time.

But there is one significant difference between the two makes of lamps, and that is the type of electrical adapter that can be used with the lamp.  Whereas the Raytector 5-2 includes an AC adapter for operating the lamp in a home or office from a wall outlet, the UV-26P lacks that, but instead accommodates an optional 12V barrel adapter enabling you to recharge the lamp from your car's cigarette lighter.

The other significant difference between the two makes of lamps is that this UV-26P lamp comes with a built-in nylon wrist strap on the side of the lamp making it easier to face the lamp toward the ground.

Other than that, the lamps are basically identical.  The Raytector 5-2 usually comes in a tan color, while the UV-26P is usually red.  The UV-26P lamp costs about $23 more, and if you get the optional barrel adapter, that's another $16, so a total of $39 more on average.

When ordering one of these UV-26P series lamps below, specify wavelength and recharging voltage.  The most popular configuration, i.e. the combination SW/LW lamp in 115V, is typically in stock, while any other version would ship a few days later.  If you want the optional 12V barrel adapter, order that separately farther below.

Order below for the optional 12V Barrel Adapter that will enable you to recharge your UV-26P series lamp from your car's cigarette lighter.  This product typically ships within 24 hours.
