5mm Round Top Diffused UV/Purple LED (Pack of 10)

Description

5mm round top UV LED for blacklight effects, fluorescence activation, and theatrical UV lighting. Specifications: - LED size: 5mm radial through-hole (DIP) - Wavelength: 395-405nm (true UV) - Forward voltage: 3.0-3.4V - Drive current: 20mA - Luminosity: 1,000-1,500 mcd - Lens: Diffused, tinted in emitting color - Viewing angle: Diffused (wide dispersion) - Mount style: Through-hole, fits standard 5mm LED holders and bezels This is a true UV emitter in the 395-405nm range, which activates fluorescent pigments, inks, dyes, and UV-reactive materials. Visible output appears as a deep violet glow alongside the invisible UV component. A current-limiting resistor sized for the supply voltage is required for safe operation. Applications: - Haunted house blacklight effects and UV-reactive prop illumination - Escape room puzzle clues using invisible UV ink or hidden fluorescent markings - Theater and stage UV wash for fluorescent costumes, makeup, and set pieces - Counterfeit currency and document verification panels - Breadboard prototyping and Arduino-driven UV indicator circuits The industry-standard 5mm round-top form factor drops into common panel bezels, LED clips, and perfboard layouts without modification.
