Do the math.
The hood redirects rays from top and sides of bulb downward.
The Zoomed testing with the lab tester solar something (can't think of name at moment) shows a reptile screen cover filters approx. 30% of rays.
To me, the redirction of rays is greater than the filter. Many will disagree. I just feel the testing reports using lab equipment should be weighted stronger than uvb meter experiments.

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!
