I'd like to replace my inova x5t's 400nm LEDs with 365nm ones, but I can't find them on ebay or in Italian on-line stores, can you point me out a website that ships them in Italy for a good price?
Thanks.

is one place. i have no idea if they ship to italy, or more important how much that is going to cost ya.

i changed to the shorter wavelenght and didnt like the available visable light it output, but i did get a few more "effects" from going shorter.

remember the voltage is different by a bit, that could be a factor.

They do emit a dim whitish light which can be annoying. I actually bought woods glass dichroic filters(they look like mirrors) to let only the UV light out, I had to go to a local stained glass shop to get them to cut it into a circle. Mine though is the high power led on a star, probably can't convert the Inova X5 with them though. I converted one of my Unniquefire X8's with it, I like it since it's a very good UV thrower now and I can light up fluorescent stuff 40 feet away.

Those look like Cree chips, but I wasn't aware of any Cree 365nm chips. I thought they only went down to 395nm. Do the dice in yours look like the typical EZ series chips from Cree? Probably it's just that all the pics I've found are wrong.
