- VLMU3100-GS08 (datasheet) : 3.2V/20mA
With 30mA through the LED, there's enough UV-light to inspect your hotel bathroom when other lights are turned off. The downside of this LED is the high forward voltage. It's in the range of the Li-Ion supply voltage as it drops during discharge. For the sake of circuit simplicity, we'll use 2 UV-LEDs in series and use a boost-converter to power them.

- WS2812B
- Control by one GPIO, no PWM or large inductor needed.
- VCC=3.5 to 5V : can be directly powered from the Li-Ion battery
- provides many colors
- MCU must run at ≥ 8MHz
- tested and verified on PIN_PB1.
- consumes 500µA to 1mA when LED is off, depending on power supply voltage
