After exchanging PM's with Eramus on UV Cree lights...
I thought I would post some photos of my latest 18 Watt Cree UV light:

Second photo with some fluorescent targets.
Heatsinking is critical with 18 watts of Crees, so I went with a large 11" x 4" brushed aluminum base.

Since Cree quit making the 3 Watt UV LED's,
they will be collector's items from now on. :(

Yes, Cree quit making the 3 Watt UV LEDs to concentrate on the white models. many months ago.

The emitters are equally spaced along the 11" of aluminum with no reflectors other than the bare aluminum.
