... Hi Sophie, I've tested both of these bulbs and the 8.0 is by far the better bulb. The 5.0 doesn't throw out enough usable UVB at 12 in, if I remember...
Hi, Sophie. I would agree with Brian here. My test results for these tubes are very similar. What it is very difficult to understand, because UVB is invisible...
