Hi all, I am petsitting a box turtle that has a Helios F24T5D tube bulb. I'm not familiar with these, since I use the ZooMed tubes. Where can I find info on...
i dont know that bulb, but as it looks from the specs it is a kind of household lamp which is stand alone insufficient for box turtles. no uvb and uva and poor...
Back in March of this year (2007) an order of 24 model 6.2 meters sent to ZooMed with their labels read higher than normal to reptile lamps. Although they read...
Hello, So just making sure I have it all... The reptiglo 10 tubelight & the reptiglo 10 compact light are reading the same, or did I misinterpret that? I...
Hi, Tracie. Sorry - not too sure what you mean by "same reading"... Compacts and tubes won't have the same reading (ie. the same amount of UVB at 6", 12" etc)...
... the UV. the 4' tubes in iguana habitats is an example of this.BobMac http://www.candgpaint.com http://www.reptileuv.com http://www.thegreenhouseinny.com ...
This is now attac to anyone special, in fact i have not read much of the group in the last few weeks ;-) On the common uv-websites i have just not seen much...
... thank you sarina for your input. you did a very well job to line out the constraints. what should we do without physicians. i love them (this is honest....
Good observations - and good questions. For Sarina and Henry... I will try to address them. 1. UVB meter Model 6.2: First of all... here in the USA the UVB is ...
Two more things I forgot to mention.. but please read my previous post first. 1. This statement on the Model 6.2 webpage is supposed to address what Sarina's...
Hello Henry, ... might cause snow blindness in our reptiles. Can you give me a link? ... Acutally its just lying around in the physics laboratory, and I have ...
I found these listed on a few sites by messing w/ the search parameters, and it appears they do offer a dedicated UVB model for reptiles that has a claimed...
NO reply from Sarina?? Hmmm. That either means: 1. She agrees with what I said. 2. She doesn't agree... but would rather not say so. 3. She hasn't translated...
Dr France Baines from the www.uvguide.co.uk has the lab equipment. i never trust the spectrograms the distrubitors put on their lables and you would be nuts to...
Sarina... thanks for the reply. Yes - if we all had Optronics spectralradiometers (and knew how to use them), the mysteries could disappear overnight! Both...
Hello All, I have a question. Recently I was helping a person on the boards, who is in Australia. She was using the reptisun 10, but was getting a new light...
Hi, Tracie. You're absolutely right to be concerned. I can't believe how many reports are now coming in, of reptiles closing their eyes under some of these new...
I ran across an internet article that clearly shows the spectral power distribution (SPD) differences between "FS" lamps and typical/normal tanning lamps vs...
The graph alone doesn't show the legend: http://www.nature.com/jid/journal/v114/n4/images/5600652f1.gif The broken line is the FS lamp. Dashed line is the...
I have a well cared for, hardly used UVB meter I'm looking to sell. I'm no longer keeping reptiles and no longer have a use for it. Please email offers to...
Hello Frances, Oh, I was so afraid of that!! That is utterly disgusting the lengths these places will go to for a buck! ARG!! I did find out that it was a...
Anyone know anything about this brand? I'm looking at a used model. It appears to be old. Can it be useful for testing bulbs if one accepts mediocre...
Hello Francis, Thanks for all of your efforts in testing & safety recommendations it is wonderful you are helping out so much! You are right, I suppose some of...
I have a new 100 watt mega-ray IB which I augmented with an aluminum hood and I placed it above my chameleon's screen cage this morning. He spends most of his...
