Model 6.2 Sensitive UVB Meter, Digital UV Radiometer, Portable UV Meter for Eyewear UV Block Testing & More, Effective UVB Light Meter, Measures 280-320 nm, from 0-199.9 mW/cm² UVB, Green

I just received my solarmeter 6.2. When I press the black button on the front and aim it at the sun or when I aim it at my 10.0 uvb reptile light I am getting a reading for uva and uvb. In all of the pictures of this exact model it is only the uvb results that come up. This solarmeter 6.2 is combining the reading. On the left side of the number that is displayed shows the letters uva and under that uvb. Why wont it just show uvb? That is why I bought it. For a UVB reading. Is this defective? Can someone please help. I have four bearded dragons and the cost of upkeep is draining me. ThanksUpdate: I decided there may be something wrong with it and, unfortunately,I was going to have to return it. I contacted amazon and they were going to refund my money and I could purchase another one. I had read all of the positive reviews on the company selling this item and ask the amazon rep. if there were any way to contact Pangea reptile and he gave me a contact number. I called them and left a message and five min. later I got a return call from them. Long story short, BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I COULD EVER HOPE FOR! They are sending me a new one. I cant say enough how much I appreciated your help with this. Thank You So Much!!

So this devices does not log data as well as don't keep a record of the last data even. So quite useless for the purpose I needed the device for. No good value of money!

if you keep a reptile this mirror is for you, know exactly how much UVB rays your baby is getting. Again this works great with UVB Bulbs.It can save you money in the long run, When UVB bulbs getting into the 30.00 to 60.00. I see you starting to save money at the 6 months mark. As most bulbs say you must change them at 6 months. With this you will know if your bulbs need to be changed.llso you will know if your Pet is getting what it needs from UVB rays with out the guess work. A+++

It seems to work as advertised. The tanning beds that I use do indeed, according to this unit and my total UV meter, come up with the 5% UVB which is what the bulb specs are supposed to be. It will be interesting to measure UVB levels throughout the year. I was surprised to see that here in Maryland measured 100(um/cm^2) in January. the tanning bed measures 500 to 600. I thought it would be much lower than 100. Great product!

This Solarmeter gets one star simply because I couldn't figure out how to use it. I ended up returning it and getting the newer one that measures the uv index. This one didn't even come with any directions. Unless you know what you're doing or want to get a box with a button that presses in I recommend getting the 6.5 versionEdit: Just so I don't sound like an idiot, I understand that when you push the button and face the sensor up it gives you a number. This does work fine. I'm trying to use this uv meter to measure the uvb output on the lamps in my reptile cages. I had no idea if the number I was getting was high or low or what the heck it meant at all. There's no gauge for scale included in the package. My only option would have been to get brand new lamps for all my cages, measure the output, and then check it every so often as the uvb output decreased until I thought the number was too low (again only a guess) or until it was 0 which was not acceptable. All of my cages are also set up differently so it would have meant assuming that the setup and light strength at the measuring spot was ok to start with.

I used this device to check all the bulbs and lights in my residence for the possibility of UVB emission. It also works well for sunlight in a shade which of course contains a little UVB and is detected accordingly. I removed its battery before stowing it away.

For the optimal use of uvb bulbs, this is a must. Make sure your reptile pets are getting the uvb exposure they need to build healthy bone and overall health. Don't waste money on bulbs that don't do the job. Invest in the meter. It will pay for itself in no time.

pls see the pics i took recently, why there is still reading on the screen when the holster is closed， is this normal or poor quality?
