Should I go with a stronger uvb bulb?

[Hollow and Paco]

Hello everyone, I just received my solar meter and when testing the uvb, my highest vine with the light 2 inches up read at around the 1.5 mark. Should I upgrade my light? I have a 4 month old veiled cham.

the optimal for UVB is about a 3 i believe, you don’t really want it any higher than that but it’s always good to have a gradient of UVB and always good to have a very high foliage spot so they can get away from the UVB when they want to, but all in all you’ll eventually need a better UVB. which one do you currently have?

Also how far away are the branches from the light? Can you share a picture of your set up?
