This lamp is pretty much a standard LED GU10 lamp fitted with UV chips. It uses a more complex heatsink than most traditional LED GU10 lamps, but still uses the common approach of a front cover holding three lens/reflectors in place that then pin the three LEDs and their aluminium cored PCB onto the heatsink.
The back of the housing unscrews to reveal a standard power supply based on a BP9N00 chip on a very common style of 3W lamp driver PCB. Despite being safely shielded inside a plastic housing the module is wrapped several times in a Kapton style tape. I'm not quite sure why they did that unless it's an attempt at containing explosive failure.
The lamp itself has three near UV chips that give out a deep purple glow that makes fluorescent objects shine brightly.

    I just bought a £5 torch on ebay with UV led's – they emit a dull purple light but the security inks on bank notes and cheques do not flouresce at all. Are there fake UV LED torches around? If you reply I'll post the ebay item link, if you want to check it out. Cheers.
