UVB Meter?

bluefirefly Nov 23, 2004 11:00 AM

Hello. I was just wondering if anyone has or has used a UVB meter or other device to check on your lamps.

I did a couple of searches on Google and found some sites that sell them for tanning beds and some for using to see what spf sunscreen to use. I also found a site that said you may be using defective bulbs for your reptiles that aren't delivering any UVB. I've also heard various amounts of time for when to change your bulbs, so I was thinking it might be a good idea to monitor the output from the bulbs myself.
