Black light pedal

My wife is working from home during the pandemic. Since she has so much screen time she ordered some glasses that filter blue light. The glasses came with a little LED flashlight that had a UV LED, intended to demonstrate the efficacy of the lenses. It's SUPER bright! I shined it around the house and found that the black light fluorescent response was remarkable. It gave me an idea.

What if you build a pedal with an LED bezel that reflects down onto the pedal. The foot switch would turn on the UV light. You could have two layers of artwork, one that shows in the visible spectrum, and one that appears when you turn on the pedal. Could be like a cool Jekyll and Hyde thing. I'm lazy though, so one of you guys should do it and post pics.

I think the "lazy" way to do it would be to get a clear, plastic enclosure. The "cooler" way would be to cut out some larger holes in an enclosure and build an epoxy wall effectively creating a window. I'm only skilled enough to do the former LOL
