[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 2001217, member: 76248"] Darwin has been using the Lucky Herp as a travel light for a while now and still seems to like it a lot. I mount it about 12'' up and get 3.x UVI and it seems pretty stable over time. The temps are still staying around 100 at that range. I picked up a couple more of these to test out. The first one is the clear model. I burned that in for about a week and it still has a really intense spike of UVB right in the center, similar to the Megaray. Even after burn in it was out around 9UVI right in the center (down from about 13) with a quick dropoff to the sides down to around 3 UVI. Temps are good, but the spike in the center makes it pretty useless. I might keep it running for a while and see if that mellows out after a long burn, but unless it evens out across the beam I can't recommend it. I also picked up another of the "coated" model. I'm not sure what the coating is (likely neodymium) but it appears to diffuse that center spike. This is the same 100w model that I started using a year ago. At 12'' up it's still producing a nice wide beam of 3-5 UVI and 101 surface temps. Combined with the fairly good longevity of the other bulb I've been using, I'll say that this appears to be a pretty good budget model option and I still recommend it when compared to a PowerSun or similar. I still need to pick up one of the "frosted" models and see how that goes. [/QUOTE]
