Does anybody know what rating the UVB lights should be at for birds? I own a featherbrite that goes on top of a dome cage and it's a 15 watt bulb.

I also own a bearded dragon and I'm curious what is the proper rating for our birds because when I test it out with my solameter it picks up 0 rating of UVB and my bird is normally right under the light. But I did call featherbrite and they told me the rating is suppose to be 0.5 for the bird and I'm not sure but I have to look into it if my meter can register 0.5 because I know these bulbs if it's like the reptiles ones are only good for 8 months and then they need to be replaced.
