Unfortunately Frances hasn't updated her website since April of 2007 and is still a long ways off until it is updated. Here is a quote from her on a previous discussion on the subject.
I have not heard a single report, to date, of photo-kerato-conjunctivitis or any problem associated with the use of the new version of the R-Zilla lamps with the new phosphor.
My tests have shown that of the lamps I received from R-Zilla in September, (Desert 50 series), almost all had a different phosphor which did not emit short-wavelength UVB. The "circular" tubes, however, still had the old phosphor. Andy has recently told me that these, too, are now updated to the new phosphor.
I also informed Andy of a finding of one T8 tube in the test batch which had a much higher output than the others, which turned out to be what I assume was indeed a thinning in the phosphor coating, which was allowing a detectable trace of UVC through. Andy has informed me that since September, the quality control has been increased to an even higher level so this sort of finding should be a rare occurrence.
Again, I apologise for the delay in the preparation of the report for R-Zilla. I hope this has at least clarified the situation a little.
Sincerely,
Frances Baines

. I assume an announcement will be made on here when the new testing results are published? I really don't mean to start a debate, just want the OP to be aware of the previous problems.
