[QUOTE="Taterbug, post: 1724769, member: 71213"] The UV Guide is still pretty relevant even if the reports are older. They have a new site (I'd need to find the link) as well as a group on Facebook (reptile lighting) and Fran and some others are pretty active there who can really help with the science of it. They also have test reports for the T5 bulbs and other bulbs with UVI and UVB irradiance readings. The conversion formula is specific to each bulb. I think I remember seeing a list somewhere but since the spectrum of UV bulbs are all different and different from the sun there is no set formula. I would not let them that close to a T5 bulb. Coopers estimate is accurate, I can't measure right now but close up my bulb reads a UVI of 13-15, much too high. Dragons can see UVA but not UVB, and again, our lights are not balanced the same as sunlight and have a lower proportion of UVA. [/QUOTE]
