Re: Meters and lamps

How do I know which UV meter I need? What is the purpose of each model?
  • The UV meters featured on FSParts are manufactured by SolarTech. They come in several different models: 5.0, 6.0, and 6.5. (They also manufacturer a 7.0 and 7.5 model which we do not carry.)
  • Model 5.0 is the most commonly used meter. It reads UVA + UVB. The primary use of this meter is to measure overall lamp intensity vs. aging.
  • Model 6.0 takes UVB readings. The primary use of this meter is to measure UVB intensity and acrylic transmission. You can determine the % of UVB if you divide the 6.0 reading by the 5.0 reading.
  • Model 6.5 is for UV index readings. It measures solar intensity and is primarily used for outdoor readings.

And for data from a meter reading to be usable, you must meter the lamps starting at the time when they are first installed in the bed.

This is probably the most important meter of them all. It helps you designate max session time and can provide in field comparison of strength between beds.

To meter beds and get the most out of the data, you need the 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0.

Re: Meters and lamps

How is the 5.0 different from the 7.0? We only have the 5.0.

Re: Meters and lamps

The 5.0 measures total UV... which is mostly UVA... and therefore indicates how strong your "browning" rays are.

The 7.0 measures MED/hr... which is the "burning" ray portion of UVB. It relates to Te max timer minutes by dividing the reading into 240 (4 x 60 min).

Two completently different wavebands of UVR.

Either one can be used to check aging of lamps from new to down 30% of new.
