About that, some boards need closer to 370nm.  That's in the UVA band.  The
germicidal ones are UVC (200nm-ish).

The UV LEDs you can buy are usually around 400nm or so, which is why they
work.  I've seen shorter wavelength ones, but they were a bit $$$.  Those
little nail polish curing lamps are probably the cheapest (off eBay).
