This handheld flashlight has 51 LED lights to illuminate anything that needs extra inspection. It works like a regular flashlight, only when you shine it on something dirty, the object will glow. However, it does not highlight any old dirt, it is generally used to detect, ahem, bodily fluids. It’s popular for plucking piddle from puppies and tinkling from kittens, but people use it for so much more than that.

Some pet owners got way more than they bargained for when they went looking for “accidents.”

“Works great,” wrote one dog owner. “[I] can see all the places my dog has been to in great detail.

Another pet owner noted a plethora of new finds: “I bought this because I suspected a stray cat had sprayed the outside of my door and wanted to make sure I cleaned it completely. When I received this flashlight, I waited until it was dark and took a look. I found that my own cat was clearly spraying back! Then I walked around my house with the lights off. I have been. HORRIFIED. I thought that stuff on CSI was supposed to be fake!! So now I’m going to clean every room in my house from the doorknobs. Also, why the hell are my nails shiny?!? !”
