The kit supplies a professional-grade ultraviolet pen light that works with all commercial UV dyes, plus yellow-tinted protective glasses and batteries so you can inspect O-rings, hoses, and fittings immediately after dye circulation. It’s compact, portable, and designed for garage or roadside troubleshooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the UV pen light reveal air conditioning leaks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen light emits high-intensity ultraviolet illumination that makes compatible UV dye fluoresce, showing bright traces where refrigerant escapes.
