[QUOTE="NickAVD, post: 2026229, member: 117461"] Today I made another control measurement of the level of UVB in the terrarium. On the new lamp, the UVB value in the basking zone was 130-135 µW/cm2, and today my UVB meter showed 95-98 µW/cm2, i.e. less by 30%. I had a replacement lamp, but I decided to look into the reasons, because I planned to change it only after 3 months. I know that a bad reflector can have a big effect on the UVB level and I had the idea that it might be dusty. Outwardly, it looked perfectly clean, and it was difficult to tell about the lamp, because color of the lamp hide any dust. I carefully wiped with a dry soft cloth both the lamp and the reflector, after turning on my UVB again shows 130 μW / cm2! I want to draw the attention of all forum participants to this - do not forget to periodically wipe the lamp and the UVB lamp, because this can cause a decrease in UVB by such a large number - 30% [/QUOTE]
