* = Based on the Newsome/Plewman measurement method where 25 uniform measurements are made
on a 2 ft. x 4 ft. grid that is 24.0 inches below the light.
** = These values are based on 20% more output than the original TripleBright
# = The Raytech values are expected to be lower than the UVP UVS-225D light because the Raytech
uses two 15W SW lamps instead of two 25W SW lamps. |
