Hello everyone.
I am wondering if anyone uses the Exo Terra Reptile UVB 100 bulbs 26w? If so, has anyone had theirs tested with a UVB meter and can provide me with the numbers? I am interested in the uW/cm2 output when they are new, at 6 months, and 1 year.
If anyone has this information that would be awesome. Also of you could provide the distance the reading was taken at and what kind of fixture you were using. Thanks!

I don't think anyone has been doing any UVB testing, unless it's for their own research. And in those cases, it's usually MVBs being tested.

I think it's been like that for 2 or 3 years already.

Yes it has been under construction. But it does say they are going to update 2015.

Oh, I did not see that. That would be great. I have to update this site too, this year hopefully.

The work they are doing is great. I hope they update this year. There is still a lot of great information about uvb on the site. Its worth a visit.

Frances, who runs that site, is great. A few of us here helped her on that big photo-kerato-conjunctivitis report a few years ago. Also sent in some various bulbs to be tested, but I don't think they are sold anymore.

Thanks for the feed back guys. I have looked at that site, I didn't see the 2015 update part either so that's good news.
