Too much UVB?

Is my UVB tube light too close to the basking spot? It is 6-7 inches away.
However, it can get closer to it if it so desires. I am also worried that it finds a way to climb onto the UVB fixture. Could it potentially cause burns? I have read that having too much UVB can cause some serious illness. If anyone has any experience with this I would love to hear it.

6-8'' is the recommended distance from the UVB bulb, so you are fine. That said I have seen pics on beardies that received too much UVB. I believe the last instance involved someone that had multiple bulbs in their enclosure.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
