Hello everyone, I've read through a number of archived posts and was just curious on which UV Meter to purchase. Is the solar tech 6.2 still the best? Or has...
Hi, "TurtleSightings" This is something we're often asked. Have a look at these archived posts of mine and see if these help, if they only make things less...
Since it has been reported that at basking distance from the lamp, the typical lamp UVI is 0.1-0.2 (around the limits of reliable detection/quantification for...
Beautiful pictures!!! My thoughts are after seeing these is that there is a lack of pigment in these and not a genetically unique species. Much like humans...
No-no.... at basking distance from the lamp UVI should be much higher - yet within normal (natural) solar ranges. That would be around 3 up to 10+... depending...
For the time being (however long that turns out to be)... the Model 6.2 meter should continue to be the correct choice - because the Model 6.5 sensor SiC chips...
Hello Darren, Thanks. I myself don't normally keep backups so much, other than halogens, because ordering doesn't take long. I never want them to break, etc....

Hi, Steve and Nino. You're both correct! Morning sunlight in the tropics before about 9.00am - when many sun- basking lizards are often seen - reaches up to...
... Hi, Tracie. No, the fluorescent tubes don't decay without use, either. Decay is the result of the action of the UV light on the glass and on the phosphors....
I see no reason why flourescent tube bulbs would decay without use since they are made of stable materials. -Nino ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
Frances; Thanks so much for your ideas; I believe that they offer a working solution to the problem of low level UVI measurement. Regarding safety: Thanks for...
Hi all, I´ve discovered something, that makes me worried. I´m using some metal halides in my vivaria, using both electronic and electromagnetic ballasts. To...
