Looks very interesting! I've seen some quite unique portraits with a full spectrum converted camera.and reflected UV. Really different from anything I've seen - particularly the look of the skin. However I don't think I would like my camera to be modified, if there's any risk or downside to that.

Prior to my A7ii any converted camera I've had was converted prior to me buying it. One of these was very badly done & got sent back for a refund. I always have unmodified cameras available too. So a fairly minimal risk.
So far I've had little success shooting reflected UV (lenses tend to absorb quite a lot of it, and the affordable UV pass filters all leak IR...)
UV is not complimentary in portraits enhancing ang skin damage, while IR sees slightly below the skin & tends to give a better complexion.
