Check that brand new bulbs are up to par with manufacturing standards and track their aging to replace them as soon as they're not working the way they should. The Solar Meter Model 5. 7 Sensitive Total UV Meter measures the UVA+B region from 280-400 nm. Applications include monitoring PUVA therapy lamp intensity and aging, measuring outdoor UV, testing acrylic shield transmission, eyewear UV block comparison, and testing window film / tint transmission. The simple, one-hand operation of this device makes it easy to monitor UV light intensity levels to decide when it's best to do outdoor activities. It's an essential tool that helps anyone who suffers from xeroderma pigmentosum to check UV exposure and stay safe. Our light meter comes with a NIST Traceable Calibration Reference Card and runs on a single 9-volt DC Battery, which is included for your convenience. ## Features - Spectral Response Erythemally Weighted to Match Vitamin-D Action Spectrum in Reptiles - Ferguson Zone Chart On Meter Front Panel For Easy Reference - Compact, Handheld, and Durable - Simple Single-Button Operation - NIST Traceable Accuracy - LCD Display - Made In USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076GXJFJG | | Batteries | 1 9V batteries required.

For example UVB index of terraristic lamp. **Q: Can the battery be replaced or do I need to buy a whole new device?** A: This device uses a standard 9V battery which is easily replaceable by opening the tool free back panel. **Q: Why has Amazon reduced availability for this item as it is an essential item for the health of reptiles. Without this the animal may suffer and die?** A: This is a one of a kind item that is in extremely high demand that often sells out frequently not only here on Amazon but also in reptile stores as well. **Q: How good is this meter for detecting UVA rays which can penetrate Through the house window?** A: This meter will focus on the total sunburning energy from both UVA and UVB. Since the amount of sunburning UVA coming from a window will be close to index 0, you may prefer using our indoor UVA Solarmeter 4.2 instead. Instead of measuring sunburning UVA, this meter will measure the total UVA that comes through your window. ## Frequently Bought Together - Solarmeter Model 6.5R Reptile UV Index Meter, Handheld Digital Radiometer for Measuring Ultraviolet Light, Measures 280-400 nm with Range from 0-199.9 UV Index, Made in USA, ABS Polymer, Black - Etekcity Infrared Thermometer Laser Temperature Gun 774, Meat Food Candy Oven Thermometer for Griddle Accessories, Heat Gun for Cooking Refrigerator Tools, Yellow - Govee Bluetooth Hygrometer Thermometer, Large LCD, Max/Min Records, 2-Year Data Storage - Black, 2 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70068772-solarmeter-model-6-5r-reptile-uv-index-meter-handheld-digital](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/70068772-solarmeter-model-6-5r-reptile-uv-index-meter-handheld-digital) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
