I do not like reciprocating saws, they are slow and hard to keep straight. For me, the quickest, straightest cuts are done with a skill saw with a thin...
Robert, I would call that a bull's eye! Instead of delving in UVB-1 and UVB-2 ratios, people should concentrate more on the D3 Yield Index (not UVB in broad...
My man Jukka! After all the point of these lamps is to promote D3 synthesis in reptiles os D3 yield index is technically the only appropriate measurment of a ...
The whole story of D3, UVB1, UVB2 and the D3 Yield Index... Bobmac, you're far too flattering about my understanding of this. Whereas I do think I now *just...
Frances has summed this issue up quite well. It is complex and difficult to explain... but suffice it to say that (generally speaking) the more 'unweighted'...
Correction to above last paragraph: 6.4 should read 6.2 meter regarding the 50 of 500 reading. Note: 500 uW/cm² is the highest 6.2 reading ever noted outdoors...

Hi, I asked that question too. Measage #2644. Type in 2644 in the measage box. So I would not wait too long to get the mega-ray. Also, the mega- rays don't...
Haaaaaaaa... nice try! But I rounded it off for illustration purposes. The real reading was 532. Sun angle was almost (but not quite) straight up - so maybe...
