Reptisun 10.0 Compact Fluorescent

Kakadu Aug 21, 2004 09:30 PM

I look way down the page for any posts on this and couldn't find any, so I am sorry if this has been asked. But, has anyone used this or know the detailed specs on it like UVB output. Any thoughts on it? It seems promising.

Here it is on Big Apple with a description. It says great UVB output in a normal light fixture.

they told me it puts out 30 microwatts at 12" compared to the reptisun 5.0 that puts out about half that. It is a self ballested florescent coil tube so it screws into a regular bulb socket. most of the uv goes out to the side so it needs to be mounted horizontally like in a hood fixture and not in a dome fixture. puting a reflective backer on it will increase the UV output. hope that helps
