Does anyone know how LED-based UVC lamps like [1] with >300 LEDs can sell on Amazon for less than $100 when it appears the individual LEDs are fairly expensive?

Does anyone know how LED-based UVC lamps like [1] with >300 LEDs can sell on Amazon for less than $100 when it appears the individual LEDs are fairly expensive? On DigiKey/Mouser the cheapest price I can find is still more than $1/LED [2].
