Do you know something that I don't, or are my eyes deceiving me in some way or another?vickson420":y1aepw1r said:Also I have to tell you that with 160 watt that absolute MINIMUM distance requirement is not 15 inches but actually 18 inches as anything closer could expose them to low wavelength UVB and harm their eyes even if the bulb itself is made to perfect specifications.
Here's a few of the picsGermain, we hand modify all of these bulbs to make sure that the UV levels are safe. If you have on that has a heavier coating, that means that it’s UV output was very high before we started the modifications.

It is not hard to see why such little heat for the wattage of the 'Modified' bulb is being reflected. Once again, not what I expected when I purchased this particular bulb, although it is safe (I have had no health/eye issues @ 16"), it does not provide sufficient heat at the minimum required safe distances, that seem now, from what I've been told on here, to be further than what is specified on the website or the box. I ordered the original working Mega-Ray (There were no postings of problems on their site when I originally ordered the bulb (Jan 11), but were, 2.5 weeks later when I received it [Jan 28]), not a fixed up, modified version, so it will get by, for the price ($70.69 CAD incl. shipping) of the original.You are right your bulb was dipped and while it is safe the dipping did seriously inhibit the true point of the bulb IMO which is to be a 2 in 1.
