15. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one first LED configured to generate ultraviolet radiation; and
at least one controller to control the at least one first LED so as to generate at least one perceivable visual effect based on an interaction between the ultraviolet radiation and an object irradiated by the ultraviolet radiation, the object comprising an ultraviolet-sensitive material disposed over at least one surface thereof that emits visible light when affected by the ultraviolet radiation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
