Hi >Josh, do you have an explanation for marketing term 2.0%, 5.0% reptisun >etc.. What is it a percentage of?
I'm not Josh, but I'll try and explain this. :) I can be pretty confusing figuring out what the precentages are of. Manufacturers may or may not inform you how they arrived at this number. Let's say you have a bulb that produces 15% of it's total wavelenghts in the UV range, and of that 7% is in the needed UVB range (290-315 nm). This would be advertised as a 7% bulb. Now take a light that produces 40% of it's wavelengthts in the UV range, and 5% of that is in the UVB range. This would be advertised as a 5% bulb. But as you can see, the lower number may be the bulb that put out the most UVB... I belive somebody mentioned something about the 'party-lights'? Do not use these as they will cause eye damage. Hope this helps, Magnus _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ########################################################################### THE GLOBAL GECKO ASSOCIATION LISTSERV WebSite: www.gekkota.com Archive: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ The GGA takes no responsibility for the contents of these postings. ###########################################################################
