UV Leds question

[qpwoeiruty]

Hi to all!!

I've just found this product over ebay

100 UV Leds

Are those any good?

Also, following the instructions on this page Hardforum LED Instructions i want your opinion (especially form those that are familiar to electronics) on which are the velues of the factors needed to calculate resistance for either 5V or 12V.
Particularly, i'm looking for the "Forward V of LED" & "Current (A)" values of the LEDs mentioned above.

I'm i on the right path or do i have any mistake on the way i'm thinking!!!!!

Any LED's you find on eBay are, for the most part, identical to ones you'd find for 4$ At Radio Shack. I have 1000 blue LED's and 500 UV LED's that I purchased for 200$ combined. The Blue ones are actually brighter than RadioShack's 5$ ones.

Those LED's take a maximum of 3.6v Forward Voltage (normal value of 3v). Their maximum Forward Current is 25ma.

I do believe that the proper resistor for these (to run at 12v) would be 680 ohm... According to the eBay page... Probably 1/2 or 1w resistors too (the last part is a guess).


And ALWAYS remember:

"Please Read the Remarks in item detail description. -- Let's take action NOW!!!"

No, they're not suitable for "Bacteria and Virus sterilization" damn, who are they kidding?
