UVB Detection Devices

[jbauer]

I know some of you have UVB Detection devices and was wondering what brand and about how much they cost for one good enough for checking the UVB output of VB lights.
I'm currently looking at Ultra Violet Light Detection Kit by Arbor Scientific costing $25.95 + $5.99 shipping. I can't afford much but would appreciate what you all use and whether or not this would do the trick.

Thanks for the help, as always.

The only meter I use and would recommend is the Solarmeter 6.2. It is the only meter that is truly accurate but it comes at a price. Usually around $300 but sometimes you can find it a few dollars cheaper.

If you can't afford to get one of them, I wouldn't recommend getting any as the readings off a $30 one will not be correct and it isn't worth spending the money for information you can't rely on.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

NHenn pretty much said it all. I have researched this plenty, review after review. None seem to have very satisfactory views. I am curious to ZooMeds, but haven't seen it yet. We are waiting to check it out and have been for some time now. Always left off shipment though, for some reason.
