Crystal Lens Halogens Lights

After reading up on light bulbs at winkipedia I found out that crystal lenses allow UVB to filter through. Does anybody have any data on the UVB output of crystal lens hallogens?

I second this thread. I asked much the same question a few months ago on HH and was told an article was in the works addressing this topic.

I hung some under cabinet lights in my apartment and the covers are labeled "100% UV filter". Does anyone know what the spectrum and corresponding irradiance levels these put out?

well I read an article on vapor lights and UVB lighting, which is why I'm proballly gonna go with ReptileUV's lights, but I didn't see anything about the crystal lenses, I'll do a double check and post if worth while.
