Posted by: Matt Campbell at Wed Nov 24 23:26:27 2004 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Matt Campbell ] I checked out the link and found no indication that these LEDs produce any UVA/UVB. Also, the spectrum shown at the bottom of the page would seem to indicate if they do produce any UV it is well outside of the range where D3 absorption occurs [UVB 260 - 320 nm UVA 320 - 400 nm]. In fact the LED in question is producing its light from roughly 375 - 450 nm with the peak at around 400 nm meaning the bulk of its output is in the visible spectrum of light not UV and any of its negligible output in the UV spectrum would be in the range of UVA which is of little use to reptiles in terms of metabolic processes. I'd say just stick to fluorescents and mercury vapor bulbs. | ||
