Any UV flashlights that are actually decent without breaking the bank? (fedia.io)

Thanks to the wonders of UV resin i got a super-cheap UV flashlight for curing it, but the thing didn't last much. I don't do this a lot, only occasionally, so a proper full expensive dedicated curing setup is a waste for me, and a not too expensive flashlight is not a bad idea, but I'd like to have one that won't break down after a bit. Is there such a thing?

Not exactly a flashlight, but I got a UV lamp with glass screen protectors that is powered off USB. It is very bright and can be used with a battery pack for portability. Since it came with the screen protectors, it is basically a bonus gift that is more powerful than the UV mode on my Nightcore SRT9.

So if you want to have a great screen protector for your phone and you have need of a UV lamp, going that route may be a great option. I got mine off Amazon, one from IMBZK and the other from amFilm, the IMBZK screen protector is better but both lamps are roughly equivalent.
