I'm confined to home, lockdown or not, so I really enjoy videos like this, although a bit "jelli" as the young people say these days--really miss doing things like this myself. Used to fossil hunt a lot too. I too can't wait for this to end--videos like this are slowing down. Noticed some of my favorite channels are digging deep for "B-roll" footage, making up for the shortfall. Thanks for posting this, MeMiner, enjoyed it!

Mine is from Way-too-Cool. I think it is 18 Watt and has UVA, UVB and UVC. At the time, it was considered one of best out there. I have seen a few in use that are more powerful, which I like, but also heard there is a shortage of one of the bulbs, so difficult to get right now. If I was to buy now, I would just get UVA and UVC to save a little money. I am not finding much use for UVB. If you are going to use it in hot temperatures, get one with a fan. Mine has the fan but it is cooler here, so that is something I probably didn't need to buy either.
