Hello all. I wanted to share my wonderful experiences of the new Arcadia MVB's that are now available in the U.S. They are amazing bulbs and we can't believe the difference in Loki and Angie's colors as well as their extreme happiness under them. I never thought I would be purchasing MVB's again after all the problems I had with the Megarays and T-Rex Active UV bulbs, it was very scary to say the least. I know a lot of reptile owners that were very disappointed that a good MVB wasn't on the market anymore or at least one that we could trust to not cause any damage to our precious bearded dragons that we all are obsessed with. When I heard that there were Acadia MVB's available, I did some research that brought me to http://www.lightyourreptiles.com I had some questions so I sent an email to Todd Goode and he answered it immediately and encouraged me to give him a phone call and we spent a lot of time talking on the phone, he put my mind at ease so we decided to give them a try. He is awesome to deal with and very easy to talk to. We couldn't believe how nice and bright these bulbs are and they also throw out a lot of heat. They come in different wattages but we purchased the 80 watt bulbs and have them on lamp stands. The UV readings are great at even 15" away and through a screen. I have a Solar Meter 6.5 that gives me readings of between 4.0 and 5.0 at the 15" distance which is awesome. I would encourage anyone to give them a try. They are also very reasonably priced. Thought I would post a couple of comparison pictures.
Here's a picture of Loki before using the Arcadia MVB.
And, a picture taken after having it for about 2 wks, his colors are just popping!
