Unusual USB germicidal light with hideous design feature

This is a rather unique USB rechargeable UVC germicidal light I got secondhand from eBay.   I've not seen any other that uses a similar lamp with battery power.

The circuitry started off quite pleasing until I spotted a rather dubious "option" link that bypasses a very important component deliberately.

One notable feature of this light is the use of an LED driver to run a vintage technology mercury vapour discharge lamp.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
