there is def. no need for a solar meter at all, it all depends on the owner. its also up to the owner to decide which route they would like to go in order to bring UVB to their pets enclosure. once you choose the method of UVB just replace the bulb as the manufacture recomends and at the end of the day you are pretty much covered. this will always be a debatable topic, just like substrate and range of diet. talk to your friends talk to breeders and pick a route you see best. Ive only used tube uvb for a loonnng time and never had any health related issues in my household due to lack of. recently I started using Mercury Vapor Bulbs just to try something new and I like them, I also use a solar meter and Temp gun just so I can monitor things to my and my pets liking, how you determine each is purely up to you
