Monitoring lamp output with Solar Light's GLM10, a stable, calibratable UV detector, assures lamp efficacy. The GLM's one-piece design for both readout and detector uniquely suits it to operate in a pressurized water environment. Percent of initial lamp intensity is read on an LED.Solar Light Co., Inc.Philadelphia, PATel: 215-927-4206Web: www.solar.com
