Mega-ray 100

Hello.

I've just put a Mega-ray 100W mercury vapor bulb in a deep dome unit above one of our tanks. I have it approx 22 inches above the basking area as the turtles stack up on each other and the one on top would be around 18 inches from the bottom of the bulb.

My wife felt the heat from the bulb and read about the amount of UVB produced. She is now convinced that we are at risk from the bulb. We have the tank in the living room and the sofa where we sit is approx 3m from the bulb. I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me anything to put her mind at ease.

I hope this is an appropriate section to post this. Apologies if it's not.

Many thanks.
