I have been using reptiglo 8.0's for well over a year and have found they work great for all my zoo! When I used my friends UVB meter a few months back and measured my 6month old 5.0 and 6month old 8.0's I found that my 5.0's were well below the "advertized" output while my 8.0's were still well above the 5.0's optimum output. I am getting ready to re-measure my 8.0's which are now about a year old to see where they sit (I have newer bulbs in with the older ones just in case of degradation).



I will post the results here once I get some measurements.
