Description / 3mm 9v Pre-Wired UV / Purple LED - Ultra Bright (7v, 8v, 9v)

The 3mm 9V Pre-Wired UV Purple LED ships ready to install with Approximately 15cm (6 inches) leads and a built-in current-limiting resistor. Connect directly to standard 9V battery (snap connector), guitar pedal 9V supply, or any 7–9V DC source — no resistor calculation and no extra components needed. A uv purple led for guitar pedal indicators, portable dioramas, and 9v battery-powered projects.

The 3mm (T-1) head is the smallest standard DIP size — scales realistically at HO (1:87) and N (1:160) scale. Small enough to hide inside model structures, dollhouses, and tight enclosures. Fits all standard 3mm LED holders and bezels.

Designed for

  • Guitar pedal status indicator: Standard 9V pedal power means this LED connects directly to your circuit — no resistor, no regulator. Works with Boss, MXR, EHX, and all DIY stompbox builds. Visible from a standing position looking down at your pedalboard.
  • Portable dioramas and displays: Single 9V battery powers the display for hours. Military dioramas, architectural models, and scale scenes at shows and competitions.
  • Cosplay and wearable props: A 9V battery is small enough to hide inside armor, helmets, and weapon props. Pre-wired means no soldering to tiny resistor leads — just connect and go.
  • Science fair and school projects: Safe, low-voltage, plug-and-play LED that works with a single 9V battery. No resistor math — perfect for students learning circuits for the first time.
  • Hobby electronics enclosures: Power indicator for any project box, pedal, or instrument running on a 9V snap connector or wall adapter.

Wiring

Red wire = positive (+). Black wire = negative (−). Reversing the wires will not damage the LED, but it will not light. Factory leads are Approximately 15cm (6 inches) leads with heat-shrink protected joints. For wiring tips, extending leads, and connecting multiple LEDs, see our Pre-Wired LED Voltage Guide.

Which voltage do I need?

Not sure which voltage tier matches your power source? See our complete Pre-Wired LED Voltage Guide — covers automotive, model railroad, USB, Arduino, Christmas village, guitar pedal, and battery-powered projects with a quick-reference table.

Department 56 village accessories use 2.5–3V adapters, which are below the operating range of these pre-wired LEDs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — wire them in parallel (positive to positive, negative to negative). Each LED has its own built-in resistor. Do not wire them in series (daisy-chain), as the voltage drops will compound.
Strip 1/4 inch of insulation, twist matching wires (red to red, black to black), solder, and cover with heat-shrink tubing. Use 24-26 AWG stranded hookup wire for extensions.
Not directly — DCC track power is modified AC, not DC. Connect pre-wired LEDs to the 12V DC accessory bus instead. If you must use track power, add a bridge rectifier and smoothing capacitor first.

DC power recommended: LEDs are designed for DC. Running on AC will cause flickering and reduce lifespan. If you're using a low-voltage AC source — such as a model railroad transformer output or DCC track voltage — convert it to DC first with a bridge rectifier.

Sold individually (1 LED per quantity ordered).

About true UV LEDs: This LED emits genuine ultraviolet light at 395–405nm. To the human eye, true UV often appears as a deep blue or blue-violet hue rather than a vivid purple — this is normal and expected. The perceived color can change depending on what the UV light is shining on (fluorescent materials will glow brightly) and the ambient lighting in the room. In a dark room, the LED looks blue-violet; in a lit room it may appear dimmer than other colors because most of the output is in the invisible UV spectrum. True UV LEDs also have lower visible light intensity than other colors — this is inherent to the wavelength, not a defect. If you want a visibly bright purple without UV properties, see our diffused purple LEDs.
