sucks IMO .
I got my new solar meter and got a 23 MW reading from it at 12'' after running all day . At 3'' the powersun gave me over 250 MW , but at at distance you could cook a egg . When the bulb is cold it only gave me 18 mw . This bulb has very fews hours on it too .The zoo-med 10.0 and 5.0 coil bulbs gave me 56 mw and 62 mw at 12'' . the best bulbs i have are the two zoo-med 48'' 10.0 tubes , they gave me 135 mw at 12'' and 167 +/- at 10'' . so from now on , i am not going to mess with the MVB's . Either they don't work or don't last . '' IF'' reptile uv sends me a new Mega ray i wil be glad to sell it cheap . I am now using the two 48'' 10.0 12'' above my rhino basking area and two 50 watt halogen spot lights on each side, for heat . I get 55-60 MW of UV at the floor ( 22'' below ) the two 48'' tubes . Thats more UV than any other bulb i have at 12 '' . Here in N. Utah we live at 5,000 feet and at 11 am i got a reading of 238 MV of uv .
IMO the MVB's are too much $$$ and a wate of time .
