UV leds are mostly very dim unless you are talking about those near the royal blue spectrum(which is still dim btw).
Virgo said:Do you want just an LED or an assembled light? This one is on its way to me in the mail, so I do not have any experience with it yet. I'm sure it is going to be impressive.

You can get an assembled light, or just the head from the Sandwich Shoppe here:

Edit: You beat me to it Virgo. Well that make 2 recomendations of the same.

I'm just guessing but I think he means high output also.

I'm also interested in the answer.

Hope that helps.
I'm not sure about ordering, but I think you can request samples (maybe?).
Good luck with your search
