Hello,

I would like to mod another arc-ls with a luxeon III UV led and I noticed that the sammich shoppe has two types the royal blue and the blue 3w which one is the UV? or should I look for the dental type luxeon? Can we buy dental lux 3 in onesies or twosies? where?

There are no UV luxeons. The closest is the Royal Blue, but that's around 450nm. UV starts at 400nm.

Royal blue is generally 444nm-450nm, and dental blue is generally 455nm-460nm - a slightly more greenish shade of blue.
"Regular" blue LEDs are those that emit in dominant wavelengths (where you would point to on a color chart) ranging from 465nm to 475nm. These are slightly greener yet than royal or dental blue LEDs - Lumileds or otherwise.

The royal blue will cause some things to flouresce, but will not (in my rather limited testing) cause bodily fluids /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif to glow.

Early LED Luxeon flashlight, was retrofitted with new white LED, given to Hewlett Packard executives who developed it. Circa mid 90’s.
