Hi all
I have read through the guide directly from Arcadia https://www.arcadiareptile.com/lighting/full-sun-baskers/ that shows this strong bulb should be about 18-24" inches from basking site. Is 48" to the ground still okay for the 14% T5 with reflector?
I don't have a UVB reading meter and this in one thing I've been hesitant to buy after other large purchases this year. I'm sure I'll eventually get one and I know that's the only one sure way to know...
Is there a more complete guide with the 14% that shows the UV rating for various distances from the lamp with a reflector? The video on their says the UV index is 5 to 6 at 15 inch distance. I've been converting an old iguana enclosure to a bearded dragon one. The total inside height is almost 60", but after adding some flooring the distance from lamp to ground will be about 48" - plus there will branches which create much more shade on the ground level.
Devlyn's living space will be about 48" high, 48" long, and 24" depth when finished in the new space.
