Has anybody tried this bulb? I was just over on Veronica's site and according to it this thing can put out as much as 1730uW/cm2 (brand new) compared to a reptisun 5.0 at 10uW/cm2 (both measured at 12"
. Does anybody here use this and is it really that much better? Is there any danger with it giving too much UV? Also over on Westrons site they list a Reptile bulb, does anyone know how this compares?
Thanks

and they said that the UVB output is correct for the R-40. Westron sells an "Iguana Light" for $35. It has a separate ballast, which is an additional $30. So for $65 you can get their bulb. I should've asked if this "Iguana Light" is the same as the R-40.
Also, this site has more info on this bulb ...

I'm thinking that if I used a bulb with that much UVB that the reptile wouldn't need to be under it for that long. On an average day in Australia, the UVB intensity is between 50 - 200. This bulb emits way more than that!
Good luck and let me know if you decide to get it. I'm interested in how it well it works.
