I would like to think if you ordered the bulb within the past few weeks, that the problems they were encountering had already been discovered and you received a good bulb. I cannot be 100% sure of that. Your best bet would be to call or email John at the above #/address.
Yes, I did order the bulb directly from Reptile UV. And I noticed when I looked at it that it did have a white frosted coating on it, so I guess it has already been treated for the problem. If I wanted to get a UV meter, where is the best place to get one?meathead":326ec said:The new bulbs are putting out way to much UV, to correct the problem they have coated the bulbs with a white frosting to tone it down to the proper uv level. If you notice any peeling of the frosting you have to return it immediately. They were very good about doing this in a timely manner for me.

I wish however they would have included a special note about the frosting on the bulbs, because as soon as mine started to flake I wiped most of it off with soft towel. Now I guess my question is, where do I go from here? I haven't noticed any eye issues in either of my dragons, though its only been a few days. How soon will these issues begin to develop?.
