I had the LED's specifically tailored for mine as I use it for other purposes (inspections) as well. For this purpose, you can search "crime scene uv" and get some hits on them such as this one.

Make sure your getting an intensity that is at least 100 lumens/foot candles. Look for the FL-1 verification on the package. FL-1 is the current ANSI standard. If you see it, it means it was tested on an actual light meter instead of a bubba meter for good enough.
Thanks for that link cwi555. Would that uv light be strong enough to see the bodily fluids without the filter? I didn't see anything about the lumens being mentioned, nor the FL-1. i.e. Have you used that one before? Either way, I'm getting 3 of the keychain uv lights. They'll be a huge help in finding vaseline glass.
And to keep the thread somewhat on track, I have a cotton liner I got from Sportman's guide and really like it. I use it in summer alone, and inside of a 35F bag on wintery nights and have been warm enough in the 20's with it.
