do you know what the actual wavelength of the UV is?

The UV light is emitted at a peak wavelength of 365nm - this is the wavelength recommended by the Bank of England for checking the UV security features on bank notes

Will this detect fake scottish and northern ireland notes? how will i know what i'm looking for?

Yes it does - all Scottish and Northern Irish bank notes have UV security features. On a genuine bank note there are UV features which illuminate in a different colour under the UV Note Checker - the rest of the note will remain dull. On a fake bank note the whole note will glow under the UV light and the special UV features will not change colour.There are many different types of UV features on the Scottish and Northern Irish bank notes - a lot of them appear as a barcode pattern. Here is a link to The Association of Commercial Banknote Issuers website - it contains information on the UV security features on all the Scottish and Northern Irish bank notes. It also contains links to the websites of each bank note issuing bank - Bank of Scotland, RBS, Clydesdale Bank, Bank of Ireland, Ulster Bank, Danske Bank (Northern Bank) & First Trust Bank:http://www.acbi.org.uk/current_banknotes.phpIf you require any more information please feel free to contact us.

Can this be used with the new £5 notes

Yes this works on the new polymer Â£5 note as well as the current paper bank notes. There is a full colour guide included in the box which shows where the UV marks are located on all the bank notes and how to check them, as well as showing all the other security features. This note checker will also work on the new polymer Â£10 note (due to be issued in summer 2017) and the new polymer Â£20 note (due to be issued by 2020).

Works as described

Easy to use. I don't leave it on when not in use as the lamp went on a previous one. The lamps are fitted and not replaceable. For the price you can't go wrong. Dropped a star as it could have done with rubber pads for feet to stop it sliding about on the counter. Has detected a fake £20 so got monies worth. Would buy again this budget price if needed
