Hello Montreal! (I moved from there!)
You're right on. I'm really wondering what the purpose of the UV LED really is?!?
As for the heat, I think that there are ways around it, albeit involving some customizing.
Going over all the links, UV-C kills bacterias, not UV-A, which is the harmless glow-in-the-dark stuff.
BTW, and a little OT, I recently compared an 8 Watt UV neon (the decorative kind) and found it to be about as strong as 4 good UV CCFL tubes.
