The short answer is no.

The longer answer is that while LED lighting has come a very long way and is getting really impressive, generally its not yet cost feasible to develop the technology you are talking about yet. There are some really high end LED lights that are producing UV, though the specific usable wavelengths may not be ideal still. However, we are literally talking thousands of dollars for this technology right now. Im hoping in the next decade that they technology continues to progress and that the price comes down. It would be great to just stick in a panel of LEDs and get the same result, but we arent quite there yet.

Unless you happen to be a millionaire and want to fund some specific reptile style LED lights. :2thumb:
