I'm trying to find a LED has UV and red in one package, preferably 5mm. Does anybody know if such a thing exists? I've found red/blue, green/red, blue/white etc.
 





Honestly I would think it most likely doesn't exist or if it does it wouldn't be available from any company that offers small quantities. UV is kinda a special application LED of course & not used as much as others. I presume you had no luck with all the common small quantity suppliers?

Have you looked for UV SMD LEDs? You could fit SMD red & UV together where you need it.
If SMD UV isn't available or usable for you, I have cut down the package of standard 3mm or 5mm LEDs with a new razor utility blade.

Bet it will look cool in your PC. :D Hope you post pics.
 
I hope it looks go too. My system is water cooled with the radiator mounted up top. I plan on putting the LEDs in the screw holes on the fans facing downwards. Thats part of the reason I need both colors combined in one LED. That way I can switch between red and violet. Some of the stuff in my computer reacts to UV. The coolant I'm getting supposedly does too.
 
I would alternate some UV and some red diodes, not that hard at all ;)
