Hey Dutch; an easy way to check for UV from any bulb or light is to place a pair of "transitition" eye glasses under the light for a few minutes or so and see if they darken.

Yo' Wee'zard; I told you the results where interesting. It looks like RustyTrichome's friend (I think that's who he said ran UVb from begining) is/was onto something. I wish I had a UVb light meter tho so I could quantify how much UVb I'm actually using.

Sorry, no pics. Problem was this experiment started just after I got out of the hospital from my bypass, was displaced from my home (tho I went there every other day) and was not suppose to drive for 2 months. According to the doctor, in an accident a deployed airbag would re-crack my chest plus steering a car (the doc put his hands at 10 & 2) would put opposing forces on my chest that might keep it from healing. My solution was to take out my '76 Eldo conv that has no shoulder belts, no airbags and you can steer it with one hand (really one finger). BTW it also has no cup holders, but has 4 ashtrays and 2 cigerette lighters.....ahh a very differant era.
