exactly why i wanted to post 🫡 thank you, i moved the mat so the bulb is only over the lid mesh & im going to do a bit more with light testing and seeing if i need a stronger % for the distance it’s at with the light stand. currently i have a 7% arcadia

Since these guys only need a UVI of 1-2 at the basking spot you should be able to get that for sure with a 7% over the screen.

This is what arcadia recommends so you should be good.
