Hi, "Yakdive", welcome to the group. I assume you're talking about using commercial halide bulbs (linear or single-ended) designed to go inside an enclosed...
As Always Frances , your detailed and critical information is very much appreciated. I too have access to many fixtures as my trade involves replacing...
Got some funny phone calls about the short post I made. For those that seem a bit paranoid. Just because I talk to other people in the reptile research field,...
Most MV or MH UVB lamps on the market seemed to be spot lamps. The beam doesn't seem very wide. Would it be possible to diffuse the light and create a wider...
Try the Mega-Ray Metal Halide kit. BobMac http://www.reptileuv.com http://www.reptileuvinfo.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UVB_Meter_Owners/ If you do...
How about a mirror or other reflective material which will reflect UVB? That material would be the junction wall of the two cages and so the UVB would be ...
A very interesting idea, but I think I'd want to modify it a bit. A glass mirror wouldn't work; the light would pass through the glass before it got reflected...
I just watched this really excellent podcast of vitamin D3 expert Dr. Michael Holick lecturing on the human vitamin D3 situation. This talk, given to doctors...
I was thinking along the same lines Frances. Bob, is the MH lamp a flood? On your site it says not to use the lamp for a full 12 hours. Would that be OK in the...
HI Kevin I see where your going with this idea, its a way of getting 2 tanks with 2 reptiles lit using 1 bulb. Most MV's and MH bulbs i dont think would work...
Ah, this is for lighting two chameleon enclosures....I was forgetting you keep chams. (Neat diagram by the way!) Yes, that's exactly the sort of thing, only I...
Hi.... I am new here. I am trying to measure UV wavelengths (from UV lamps mostly) around 270-300nm. I see folks here use the Solarmeter 6.2 UVB meter. I...
I think the lowest price you will find for the 6.2 meter sold for is about 140-150 when someone does a group buy. Keep posted to this group as it sounds like...
... OK.. I can probably do that. ... Humm. Maybe I am trying to re invent the wheel. I have been reading in the file area. I see good data on bulbs from...
Did you go to the UVGuide.co.uk website? there is a large amount of data there. The zoo med and exo terra brand lamps are sold here in the US so you can use...
Hi, Jack. Welcome to the group. I think what type of UV lamp you choose for frogs will vary just like it does for reptiles, depending upon what species you are...
Hey there...welcome to the group If you subscribed to the e mail notifications you are sure to see an opportunity to purchase the Solarmeter 6.2 for about...
Hi, everyone. I'm afraid the webhosting service for UV Guide UK has (temporarily, I hope) closed our account. This means no emails sent to any email address...
Hello Frances, Thanks! I was going to email you to inquire about this as I had gone to it today. I also had a few people on the board ask me about it as...
There was a thread started on this message board a few days ago by the owners of the UV Guide. The site is currently down. They are working on the issue. ...
Hi, Kevin and Ian. Yes, the site is down. I managed to get hold of the person hosting it for us, last night. He's promised to look into it, today. I'm hoping...
Great news. Paul Williams, who was hosting our site, was having great problems with the hosting company. He has now got the site out of there, and has just...
