Fireside, I have not checked the UV intensity yet in small enclosure.Its 1/4 shaded and 3/4's sun 3/8s mesh to let in the sun.The hl's seem to enjoy it.I have researched the Hawk meter some.Now don't get me wrong, I am not using the meter as and absolute reading.I just wanted to get it, take a reading outside, to see if it worked, then put it in the area that the HL's normally bask just to see what kinda reading i got and to see if the lamps even registered.Like i said the basking bulb registered like two where they sit,the powersun was a one,same height.Bought this flor supposed to be like 7%, it cost like 60bucks and some, it registered 0 and thats right under the fixture.It does add a nice "bright white" to the enclosure, but in my opinion, no UV at all.The reading right under the basking bulb is 7ish , can't remember the powersun,dang it.Anyway, just some observations.Oh yea, caught the HL's drinking from the water dish the other day,which from what i read here is somewhat unusual.talk at you guys later,scott.
