Testimonial: "Recently, the zoos reptile keepers ran some tests in order to measure the UVB output of fluorescent lamps (bulbs) used in some of the exhibits and holding cages... Using a UVB meter, the staff found that the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 High Output UVB Lamp provided high levels of UVB, with the Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Lamp being valuable in some situations as well.

The Staten Island Zoo currently uses the Zoo Med 10.0 High Output UVB Lamp with a number of lizards, including such sensitive species as the crevice spiny swift (Sceloporus poinsetti) and the Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum). - Frank Indiviglio
