>>The website explains that the distance will be somewhat dependent on the animal. The website recommends 10-18" for the 100 and 12-20" for the 160 so it appears that the minimum numbers suggested by the manufacturer are 10" for the 100 and 12” for the 160.

They must have contradictory information on the site then. Here (the page for the 160w SB lamp) they say 18" is the minimum distance and 24" is the max.

I'm definitely a Mega Ray groupie. I just want to be sure people use them safely since they do actually put out a good amount of UVB.
