Hi,I'm looking for recommendations on LED sourced ultraviolet light units, had enough broken tubes and cannon lamps.

I know cheap units tend to produce more purple light than actual ultraviolet, so hoping for some "tried and tested" advice.
Looking to illuminate painted backdrops in a variety of small to medium sized venues. So possibly a couple of very wide angle units and a couple of narrower beam units. Rigging points can be a challenge, so light weight and small are both advantageous. Looking to spend hundreds rather than thousands.

Thanks in advance.

I bought two of these recently https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226334391421?var=525526263512" rel="nofollow - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226334391421?var=525526263512

Well I thought I was buying 8x shitty ones, but what got delivered was two decent quality units. The UV on them seems to be great and on the same level as my 400w UV cannon with the proper japanese lamp that people used to go mad about.

Wow really?

One of those equal to a 400w cannon, not what I would expect.

As they don't quote a peak frequency I would assume it's quite high and so they output quite a bit of visible light too?
