If you can get them, they run about $100 apiece.

Imagine a Tri-Nichia 365nm maglite. WOW! That would be pretty awesome.

That's crazy output from UV's.

It would appear that you are, in fact, the man.
C'est tout.

WOW! But please remember eye protection. I once ran into problems from playing with a very bright UV light for too long without protection. Just from spill/reflection. Fortunately, no permanent damage.

No. I was refering to the Nichia i-LEDs and not the 5mm ones. McGizmo played with them here.
