UVB Producing Bulb Readings





These UVB readings below were taken by us several weeks ago in order to compare how different brands & ages of bulbs varied in UVB output. The reason there are split readings on the T-Rex bulbs is because the UVB intensity changed at a 30 degree angle. The first number is the reading directly below the center of the bulb and the second reading is at a 30 degree angle but at the same distance from the bulb.

These are here for your reference. If you have a bulb which you are able to test and provide accurate information for, please contact us, and we will add it to this list.

Note: All Powersuns tested in the chart below are flood bulbs.
