I have been in the process of testing and replacing my UV bulbs and found that I'm buying ones that don't seem much better then the ones I'm replacing.
So, those of you who have meters, what is your scale? I measure 8" from the bulb and replace at 18 to 20 depending on the size of the cage. New bulbs usually measure in at 38 to 40, however I am finding way too many coming in at 20 to 24. That sure doesn't give me much life for the cost of the bulbs.
Does anyone else test their bulbs?
