Distance between tort and uvb lamp?

[ZEROPILOT]

This is a little test I did a few years ago using ZOOMED lamps. Arcadia are probably even more powerful. At least marginally

Real world UVB test done

I've conducted a UVB test and the results have surprised me. I've included photos of what I tested and tested with... A very popular T5 HO (5.0) florescent fixture and a SOLARMETER 6.5R. When I first set up my Chameleons enclosures, the new lights put out a reading of almost 8.0 at the top...

Not sure if the flood light lamp is perfect. It comes on and off to heat then goes off then heats again then goes off again. Plus it's not really super flooding. I might just switch to one of them Arcadia ones, this brand has yet to fail me.

I'll try giving larger leaves then and let him rip.
I got a smaller border dishes due to that exact issue.

Sounds like your lamp is hooked on the thermostat. But it's better to just run it on timer.

Understood about you flood light. What's the model/maker, by the way?
