[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1724767, member: 76248"] If that reading is accurate, I'd try to keep him a bit further away. He may like getting the extra UVB but based on what I've read, that intensity can be harmful. The ranges considered to be harmful are UVI 7/8 and above, although limited exposure at these levels may be OK - a lot of this is educated guesswork. That puts the uW/cm2 at around 150+ based on test results on lamps using both the 6.5 and 6.2 side by side. uW/cm2 readings of 280 put UVI in the range of maybe 14-15 or so which is quite high. This is why it's generally recommended that basking spots be placed in an area of 3-5 UVI or so which reflects mid morning and late afternoon levels in their natural habitat. That would be around 60-105 uW/cm2 but that's just a rough guess based on side by side test results I'm reading. The correlation isn't exact. [/QUOTE]
