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. ## Features - 5mm through-hole LED for projects and panel indicators - 10 UV Purple 5mm through-hole LEDs in industry-standard form factor that fit standard 5mm LED holders, bezels, and panel cutouts — suitable for microcontroller projects, panel indicators, gauge cluster work, and electronics prototyping - True UV emission at 395-405nm - 5mm round-top LED emits ultraviolet at 395-405nm with 1,000-1,500 mcd output, 3.0-3.4V forward voltage at 20mA drive current. Diffused lens in emitting color provides wide even glow ideal for activating fluorescent pigments, inks, and dyes. - Standard 5mm radial through-hole package - 5mm DIP form factor fits standard LED holders, bezels, and panel clips on 2.54mm pitch breadboards or perfboard. Two long radial leads accept solder, screw terminals, or crimp connectors. Industry-standard footprint drops into existing 5mm sockets without modification. - Polarity and resistor reference - Through-hole LEDs are polarity-sensitive: longer lead is anode (+), shorter lead is cathode (−). For 20mA drive current with a 3.0-3.4V LED, use a series resistor of 100Ω 1/4W on 5V, 300Ω 1/4W on 9V, 470Ω 1/4W on 12V, or 620Ω 1/2W on 15V. - UV blacklight hobby applications - 395-405nm output activates fluorescent paints, glow pigments, and security inks for haunted house blacklight scenes, escape room puzzle clues and hidden-message reveals, theatrical UV stage effects, costume accents, and counterfeit currency or document inspection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B017TR7CXY | | Best Sellers Rank | #457,992 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #87 in Super Luminescent LEDs | | Date First Available | November 10, 2015 | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Item model number | AZ-5MMDIFFUSEDROUNDTOPLEDUVPURPLE | | Manufacturer | Lighthouse LEDs | | Package Dimensions | 9 x 6 x 1 inches | ## Images ![5mm Round Top Diffused UV/Purple LED (Pack of 10) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41AWY2DGBGL.jpg) ![5mm Round Top Diffused UV/Purple LED (Pack of 10) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519QubRIdtL.jpg) ![5mm Round Top Diffused UV/Purple LED (Pack of 10) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mFZqMosRL.jpg) ![5mm Round Top Diffused UV/Purple LED (Pack of 10) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K92D+vP1L.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/111784012-5mm-round-top-diffused-uv-purple-led-pack-of-10](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/111784012-5mm-round-top-diffused-uv-purple-led-pack-of-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-11-06*
