Every 6 is fine.

Every 6 is the rule of thumb that everyone uses as a guide. If you had a UVB meter you would be able to take readings and maybe get a few more months out of each bulb, or not? I will be getting a meter in the future.

http://www.solarmeter.com/ is the actual website. You might be able to find another supplier if you do some searching. Hope that helps!

The 6.2 measures the UVB amount emitting from your bulb while the 6.5 measures the UV radiation emitting from your bulb. Make sure if you order the 6.5 you specifically say that you are going to use it for reptile bulb use outdoor use. (I'd recommend getting the 6.5 from Solarmeter just to make sure it was set up for reptile bulb use). Here is a good website worth reading:

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
