The cost of providing uvb separate from heat is really very low with the latest tubes which last for years.
The poor performance, low reliability and short lifespan of many combined bulbs has given uv lamps a bad reputation.
You never know PQ, that uv might not be out of your price range.
But I've given up on any hope of having a good argument on here these days. Everyone is so agreeable!

They are not out of my price range. My husband is on 60 grand a year. I have done my research and never found a convincing enough reason to use them.
