Please understand I am not making fun of you, even thought it comes out that way. But to test UV, by using a UV meter is very silly.
You test it, by the effects on the subject, and in this case the subject is the monitors. You can test all sorts of bulbs with the monitors, and that we have done. The real funny part is, in order to test it, you must first know how to keep monitors healthy in the first place, or the test is fairly ineffective.
What we have found is simple, once you know how to keep monitors, then UV lites are of no positive effect. That is, A regular bulb is just as good. And yes sir, I have tons and tons of proof.
It boils down to this, you can take the difference in costs of bulbs, which is lots and feed your monitors better, build better cages, keep more monitor(us sickos), take your mates to the pub, buy your spouse a gift for their understanding, go get drunk or stay drunk longer, save it up and actually go see monitors. Throw it away, spend it on the lottery, donate to a good cause, etc. Now whos the huckleberry(fool)? We should spend five to ten times what is actually needed because the label says so? I say good for you, but I am no huckleberry. I will spend the difference on one of the above.
