Yes I have been lurking, occasionally...
OK LED's I use a 3 Watt Nichia 365nm UV for my Ultra Violet photography, both for reflected and fluorescent effects. It's good and does what it says on the can.
Visible light photography is another matter, although I do use LED's for my copy stand because of their low heat output and low running costs, their light output spectrum is 'gappy'. I chose a particular lamp because it hasd the best spectral output I could find.
This is the spectrum. The 6000K was bad with a huge gap in the green area, the 3,000K had almost no blue. You need to be careful when selecting your LED's I wouldn't buy one for photography without seeing the spectrum first.
