UV Lamps for Funko POP!s

I'm reviewing a non-waterproof 600 LED version of this product. I use these LED UV lights to light some Funko POP! Characters, as many characters use paint that reacts to UV radiation. In addition to UV, LEDs emit a lot of light in the visible spectrum; This means you will see a bright purple light from the LEDs, which can be positive or negative depending on how you look at it. The circuit board is black, but the LEDs themselves are still white when off, so they're not invisible. The LED strip is 8mm wide. Please note that since there are so many LEDs, they are very close together (that's why you WANT to buy these, right?) which can interfere with the light strip's solderless connection terminal. I ended up cutting off the top cover of my solderless connector terminals and soldering them on. I've added pics of regular/glow Funko POP: Freddy Funko Astronaut with Ray Gun and Breaking Bad Walter White in a chef outfit. They will be lit about 1 inch above the figure. Only one row of LED bulbs is used, although due to camera flare there appear to be more.
