“…Even more troubling, the cur re n tly a v a ila b le UVB ra d io m e te rs such as U V P Inc, Spectronics® Corp and Gigahertz-Optik® give different irra diance values from the same UVB light source. This is partly because of uncontrolled bleed-in of non-UVB light in some of the meters and for other reasons intrinsic to the translation of photon input into output peculiar to a given brand of radiometer (Angelo, 2002, Gugg-Helminger, 2002.…”

Ultraviolet lighting is integral for the growth and maintenance of many reptile and amphibian species. But providing an ade quate source of light can be challenging. Many disease processes seen by veterinarians are attributed to ultraviolet lighting deficiencies. In mammals, disease due to excess ultraviolet lighting has been noted, and some veterinarians feel this may be a potential issue in reptiles and amphibians.

“…The sensor is customizable for a particular type of lamp or natural light by a program that evaluates the spectral power distribution and makes the appropriate correction. The result is a reading that is a close approximation to that which would be measured with a spectroradiometer [Angelo, 2002;Gugg-Helminger, 2002]. In addition, separate sensors for measuring UVA (315-400 nm) and visible light (400-700 nm) are also available, and can be used with the same Gigahertz-Optik, Inc. P9710 Optometer processing unit.…”

A comparison of responses by three broadband radiometers to different ultraviolet‐B sources

Three types of broadband ultraviolet‐B (UVB) radiometers were shown to display different irradiances from the same light source. Also, natural light and different lamp types were shown to have different vitamin D–synthesizing potential. Equations relating the irradiance readings from UVB radiometers from Gigahertz‐Optik Inc., UVP Inc., and Spectronics Corp. to in vitro vitamin D–synthesizing potential are reported for four UVB sources.
