Only ones I've seen are http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=302611183917&category=1285&pm=1&ds=0&t=1517027539682
these DO NOT EMIT UVA or UVB.

From what I've read, the Zoo Med ReptiSun LED UVB Terrarium Hood has a bank of LED's built in that add bright white light ONLY , and it's necessary to install a T5HO UVB tube in the hood to provide UVA & UVB.

I've seen these too https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Snake-Turtle-Lizard-Reptile-60-LED-UV-UVa-Light-Bulb-110V-E27-USA-Engineer-Cert-/271083122666 which I wouldn't touch with a barge pole .... I suspect the UVA band emitted is very narrow and it will not be produce sufficient UVA flux (microW UVA / sq.cm across the entire UVA spectrum).

Note UVA 400 nm - 320 nm. UVB 320 nm - 290 nm.
I've seen these http://www.ledwv.com/uv/uv-high-power-led-390420nm-3w-p-1109.html , band of UVA produced = 390-420nm , I'd be concerned about the lack of emission > 390 nm.
and these
http://www.ledwv.com/uv/uv-led-365nm-3w-Φ20mm-p-963.html
, emission band centred on 365nm , not sure the width of the power spectrum emitted, again likely only +/- 10 to 20 nm.
So you'd likely need a combination the two to get close to a full UVA power spectrum, and then there's the microW UVA / sq.cm vs distance relationship , I've seen no information on this with these LEDs Apart from
Spot diameter ∮4, irradiation distance 10mm, peak (irradiation intensity) 8000mw / cm2
I am certain UVA and UVB LEDs for reptiles will eventually appear on the market.

Feel free to add to this as you test , in particular if you have Solarmeters and can measure UVI, or microW UVA / sq.cm vs distance maps and microW UVB / sq.cm vs distance maps .

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
