Ultra-violet

With 30mA through the LED, there's enough UV-light to inspect your hotel bathroom when other lights are turned off.  The downside of this LED is the high forward voltage.  It's in the range of the Li-Ion supply voltage as it drops during discharge.  For the sake of circuit simplicity, we'll use 2 UV-LEDs in series and use a boost-converter to power them.
