This bulb was graciously given to me by Alissa Gress (Bloomington, MN). Thanks Alissa! This research will ultimately help many people that are contemplating on what kind of UVB bulb to buy.

I gathered the following info about this bulb: "For large vivarium applications or high demand UVA UVB requirements. Great for large zoo-type enclosures housing aquatic turtles, tortoises, large lizards or large snakes. Use as part of a veterinary treatment for metabolic bone disease."
