Powered by a single included 9V battery and made in the USA, this durable tool is essential for anyone serious about reptile care and UV safety. ## Description The Solarmeter Model 5.7 is the ideal handheld device for testing the quality and aging of your UV lightbulbs. 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.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a necessity for any reptile owner *by L***H on February 4, 2026* So glad I bought this!
