I am lost on this, not to contradict your comment just where are you finding this information. Everything I find states that the coil is bad because they lack sufficient wave lengths, otherwise to weak. :?
Way to dumb it down in here... JKclaudiusx":a1jwbuum said:Yeah, I don't think there problem is that they are too strong.
Either way there is no need to get all technical about it. The tubes work the coil doesn't.

I got my info from here--->http://www.uvguide.co.uk/phototherapyphosphor-tests.htm#UVI
Here is a description of the zoomed reptisun 10. cfl--> (Once again, even well burned-in lamps produce unearthly levels of UV radiation further than six inches from the side of the lamp. The new lamp with the highest output would need to be placed 16 inches above a reptile for the UVI to be below 6. Interestingly, the manufacturer's minimum recommended distance for a new Reptisun 10.0 lamp (positioned horizontally, like this, above the reptile with no mesh or reflector) is 23 - 25 inches, according to their new information sheet. This, according to our recordings (not shown on the chart) would yield a UVI of about 2.3.)
