Vito,
You worry over
nothing! Quote:

Forgettabout the SPIKE thing. All HP lamps have spikes. ALL UV meters pick up the spikes. So what?
If you want to subtract them out, ANY spectralradiometer (properly characterized and not aperture saturated) can do that. Doesn't someone you know in Italy have a spectralradiometer?
And even if you did that and got a lower irradiance sum, you would have to run around testing every other kind of HP lamp and subtract out their spikes too. Then you would be virtually back to ground zero. What would you have learned? Nothing unless one particular brand has magically doubled a spike or two compared to all the others. I kinda doubt that... but I've been known to be wrong once or twice in 15 years.
And even if you found taller spikes in this particular lamp cassette, who is to say that these spikes are not indeed
helping the bed "tan like a mofo"? Don says they don't tan "much" but I say they do tan "some". Guess it depends on what the definition of
much and
some is. *(^_^)*
