UVB through window?

[jamest0o0]

In my cham room I have 2 windows I keep open with a screen. The room is only about 8'x10' give or take a little. It's on the bottom floor and sun gets in through the day, but nothing extreme. It lights up the room enough that it's similar to a shady area outside, but some of my cages are right next to the window. My solarmeter 6.5 read that it's like .1-.3 depending on how bright that day is and where at in the room. I'll post an older picture of my set up. Things have been changed, but the cages are still in the same spot with both windows on the side and behind the rack open. I wanted to get your thoughts on how much this would be benefiting my chams. Or are they getting anything at all from that? I still have uvb, but have been supplementing d3 less this summer because I get them outside some days and have the windows open. Just been curious if this is doing much for them, lmk your thoughts! Thanks

That level of UVB is probably negligible. Indirect sunlight is always beneficial, but your lighting in the enclosure should be giving 4.0 down to zero already. Turn all the lights off, put the meter in the enclosure, I’ll bet the reading is zero. Getting them outside as much as possible is best. That way they have access to direct sunlight if they choose. And I agree with decreasing D3 when they have access to natural sunlight.

@Goose502 thank you for the input! I wasn't planning on replacing uvb, outside time, etc, but just curious if that indirect light did anything for them. I turned all the lights off an it was about .1 in most areas and .3 in the spots where sun shines through.
