I'm curious how much UVB the coil-shaped bulbs put out. Is there anyone on here who has a UV meter who is willing to buy a coiled UVB bulb and test it?

This does not give you the info you are specifically asking for....but it offers the way the different bulbs offer that coverage....okay, so I will go sit back on the bleachers now :)
