Are all LEDs the same quality?
rackoon:
Well I ended up buying 100 UV leds through eBay. 1$ plus $11 shipping from Hong Kong.
I believe that they are 3mm, 2000mcd, 15degree view angle. I'm going to use almost all of them. I will experiment with the sandpaper and grinding the bulb flat.
I have 24 buttons and a recessed diamond plate kick plate at the bottom that I want to bounce UV light off. I am working on a three sided cocktail and might shine some down under each CP also. Heck, I would mount a freak'en disco ball to it if my wife would let me..well maybe not but I am trying to recreate the arcade feel that I used to experience back in the 80's. UV black lights were quite popular.
Any way I will post pics when I get far enough.

Cool idea racoon.
I do have a soldering iron. I just suck at it and was just seeing if there was a way around it. However, I'm running about 10 of the same lights in parrallel and the way I understand it I only need one resistor right?
