The average value at 12 inches is now down in the low to mid 500's after one week of use for 3 bulbs. Note that the bulbs in the background are not the same type. When I did replace one of the bulbs in the background, I raised it up so that the ig was getting around 300mWcmsq at the basking site. As the bulb decays, I keep adjusting the height of the bulb down closer to the basking site to try to maintain about 300. The bulbs are only 60 watts and don't produce much heat. The igs seem to like them, and I have noticed a slight increase in color on a few of them. I got them from Weston Electronics, they are still in experimental stages. The predecessor which produces less uv is available via the following link. http://myiguana.com/newprodwatac.html

It only reads UVB. Manufacturer also makes UVC and UVA meters. These lights do not produce UVC. http://www.myiguana.com/aclowuvbmet.html
