Quick take
Portable handheld UV light for curing Loon UV resins in the field or at the tying bench.
The Loon UV Nano Light is a compact aluminum UV torch that runs on a single AAA battery. It is small enough to slip into a wader or shirt pocket for curing UV knot coatings and wader repair resin on the water. It also works at the tying bench for setting UV resins on flies, which suits tyers who want a simple light without a bulky setup.
Best for
- Fly tiers using UV-cured head cements and resins
- Field repairs to UV-cured knots and wader seals
- Minimal-weight UV curing at streamside
Skip if
- You do not tie flies or use UV resins
- You need a powerful bench UV light
Strengths
- Compact enough to carry in a shirt pocket
- Powerful enough to cure resins quickly
- Included battery ready to use
Trade-offs
