NEW PRODUCT – UV/UVA 400nm Purple LED 5mm Clear Lens – 10 pack
NEW PRODUCT – UV/UVA 400nm Purple LED 5mm Clear Lens – 10 pack: Need some really bright LEDs? We are big fans of these 5mm clear UV / Purple LEDs. These emit UV ‘blacklight’ in the UVA spectrum so they are great for projects with fluorescent materials referred to as UV/blacklight-reactive or ‘glow-in-the dark’. They are bright (350mcd) and have about a 20-degree LED beam. They go easily into a breadboard and come in a pack of ten so you can easily add that extra UV zing to your project.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
