Anyone have any input on the performance of this fixture? How does it compare to the 400watt black lights and the Elation UV wash?

I'm not even sure if that fixture is shipping yet. Also nit sure if it is shipping if we have enough users "in the wild" using them that are members on this forum.

yeah I'm sure it's not yet available...was mainly looking for input from ADJ staff that may be familiar with it.
Well now that you mention it I think I have seen some nice comments on it somewhere. Just can't remember where. I'll see if i can find someone to comment on it or i can get a quote from them to post here for you. 
It is LED so it won't give a true UV like a UV Wash or mercury vapor lights will. For example, the LED will give off a purple, visible light and the Wash/mercury vapor won't. So if you are looking for an effect in which only white and UV reactive material light up, stay away from LED UV. If you don't mind a purple light, are looking for a purple light, and/or are using it with other lights to make whites/uv reactive glow, then LED will work fine. UV sources will also make UV stuff glow with other lights on as well, but no additional visible light is given off.
In the following video, UV is on throughout the scene after the lights come up and you can see the UV stuff glowing (mainly with the camera down low since the one up high is not as good and as such has its iris open too much).

Just a note. you have to click the big black box to be taken to where the video is. As we do not allow embedded video's on the forums.
