I think I can make one, I'll do it later, I'm bussy as is. I found a seller on ebay who sells them for 10 cents a piece. Also I think I might be able to use highlighter, other people use it with black lights, so it might work. I'll time it with a 555 driving a transistor driving the leds. Time toggled by a potentiometer.
I've thought about it, and I don't think I can order up the LEDs in time, especially since most good ones are from china. Maybe I'll do the project later. Inless someone want sto give me a link to inexpensive high brightness uv leds that are sold somewhere in the us, preferably near PA.
Beautiful absolutely beautiful, that's all i can think, except for how to build this i already have a circuit plan forming in my head involving parts from and old radio a basic flasher circuit and now all I need is some steady drops...

I think I can redesign that with more simple components (like no programming) :)
