3W Power LED UV 360–365nm
The Periled 3W Power LED UV uses a high-quality Epileds chip from Taiwan, engineered for reliable UVA 360–365 nm emission. Its round package and wide beam make it ideal for fluorescence excitation, resin curing, inspection tasks, and custom electronics components or modules integrated with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontroller-based systems.
⚠️ Safety & Visibility Notes
Note: A 360 nm UV chip emits mostly invisible light. To the human eye, it may present only a very faint whitish/violet glow, often due to fluorescence from nearby materials.
Warning: UVA radiation can be hazardous. Do not stare into the LED and avoid prolonged skin exposure. Always wear appropriate UV-protective eyewear and implement safety shielding during operation. Keep away from children and pets.

🔧 Integration Tips for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Microcontrollers
- Use a constant-current driver: Drive at 600–700 mA. Do not connect directly to a GPIO pin from Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
- Logic control: Switch the LED driver using a logic-level MOSFET or transistor from your microcontroller PWM/IO pin for dimming.
- Supply headroom: Ensure the driver supports the LED’s forward voltage (3.2–3.4 V) at the target current.
- Thermal management: Mount to a suitable heatsink/MCPCB. Provide airflow to maintain safe junction temperatures.
- ESD handling: Treat as a sensitive semiconductor device; use antistatic precautions.
- Optics: With a 120° native beam, add a secondary optic or reflector if you need tighter focus.
