LOOKING FOR INPUT on UV (experiences)

Posted by xta on September 07, 2002 at 14:43:55:

I am looking for any experiences from those that have used mercury vapor bulbs as their UV source. I am trying to do some research and get a general consensus of positive and negative feedback regarding these bulbs.

1. What brands have you used? (and positive/negative feedback)
2. Did you use a thicker, well insulated extension cord with this light?
3. Does your light fixture containing this bulb have a UL sticker on it and contain ventilation holes in the top?
4. If you've had more than one, how many broke or gave out early? Have they cut off when they are too hot?
5. What kind of UV sauce did you use before the MV lights?
6. Did you notice improvement in your animal? How so?
7. If you are a vendor that sells these bulbs...do you get a lot of complaints or returns compared to your other UV lights?

Thanks to all who reply! You can reply here or to my email at: xtaxtaxta@yahoo.com
