uv led light on e-bay

Anybody know anything about this light? Seems like a great price for uv led.

I can't find the old post about this light, but I bought one and as soon as I put 3AA's in it, the LEDs started to get dimmer and dimmer, then went out one at a time. I shipped it back to the seller at my expense, he sent me another one. This time, I did a quick current measurement on it after putting a couple of ohms in series with the LEDs. I forget the exact value that worked finally, but it's still a piece of poop. Not bright, and since I used only one resistor for all 6 LEDs, there is a considerable difference in brightness from led to led.
Here's a poor quality photo of the first flashlight dying.

Sounded like it was too good to be true.
Thanks for the imput, sorry you were the guini pig but do appreciate the honest feedback.
