I just got my Solarmeter 6.2 (UVB-meter). But I'm confused about what amount of UVB beadies actually need.

I currently use one Exo-terra Solar Glo 100W at the hotspot and that's the only UVB-source in the enclosure. I know that Solar Glos isn't the best bulbs but I'm afraid that is the only common brand in Sweden.

But now then I got a UVB-meter I can actually start to measure myself and it that way determine if they are good enough or if I need to get another brand.

But how much UVB output is recommended for bearded dragons? What kind of uW/cm2 am I looking for? What is the least amount of uW/cm2 before I need to change the bulb?

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
