Solarmeter® 6.5R Reptile UV Index
UV measuring devices for the terrarium – ideal for reptiles & co.
In terrariums, the targeted control of UV radiation is of central importance for the health and well-being of your reptiles. As UV lamps lose intensity over time, regular UV control measurements in the terrarium are essential.UV measuring devices for the terrarium – ideal for reptiles & co.In terrariums, the targeted control of UV radiation is of central importance for the health and well-being of your reptiles. As UV lamps lose intensity over time, regular UV control measurements in the terrarium are essential.
SOLARMETER® UV measuring devices, especially the popular Solarmeter® 6.5R Reptile UV Index model, offer precise and simple measurement of the UV index in the terrarium – for private terrarium keepers and professional pet owners alike. The devices not only allow you to optimise the positioning of the UV lighting in the terrarium, but with regular measurements they also provide a reliable estimate of when the UV lighting needs to be replaced
✔ Precise UV measurement for reptiles ✔ Easy to use ✔ Quick check of the UV lamp quality ✔ Ideal for bearded dragons, chameleons, tortoises and many other reptile species
In addition to their professional precision, terrarium keepers particularly appreciate the simple and safe handling of the devices, which makes monitoring the UV lighting particularly easy.
So-called index measuring devices are particularly popular in the ambitious terrarium hobby sector through to professional animal husbandry – above all the SOLARMETER® 6.5R Reptile UV Index.
SOLARMETER®: More than just terraristics
SOLARMETER® hand-held measuring devices are also used worldwide outside the terrarium industry:
- Medicine & light therapy: UV control for phototherapy and irradiation lamps (e.g. for psoriasis or acne treatments)
- Dental sector & laboratory: Testing of UV curing lamps
- Dental sector & laboratory: testing of UV curing lampsTanning salons & cosmetics: control of UV emissions in light applications
- Photovoltaics & solar energy: measurement of solar radiation to optimise the alignment of PV systems UV protection tests: Evaluation of glasses, films or Plexiglas for UV transparency
- UV protection tests: Evaluation of glasses, films or Plexiglas for UV transparency
-
Safe everyday life: Light-sensitive people use SOLARMETER® devices to check their UV environment - for more safety in everyday life.

Traceability according to NIST
Traceability according to NISTTraceability according to NIST means that the calibration of a UV measuring device is based on reference standards of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This ensures that the measurement results are internationally comparable, reliable and traceable
All SOLARMETER® UV measuring devices are ‘NIST traceable’ calibrated on delivery and therefore guarantee highly accurate measurements!
For technical reasons, however, UV measuring devices age over time. SOLARMETER® therefore recommends recalibrating the measuring devices after 12 months. This is the only way to ensure that older devices also measure with NIST-traceable precision.
SOLARMETER® recalibration service
SOLARMETER® offers a (chargeable) recalibration service for its handheld UV measuring devices. The device is sent in and returned after recalibration.
