Default UV passing Acryl-panel

http://www.vivaria.nl/vivaria/?get=p...duct_light.xsl

"Ultra violet light cannot pass through glass, so it is necessary to replace the glass plate with a material that allows ultra violet light to pass. We have found a transparent material, which is up to this task. Our UV-plates let pass 99% of the ultra violet light and is heat-resistant for the heat generated by the lamps. "

what type of panel is this? where can you buy this in the U.S

Lexan will work just fine. Lexan is a type of acrylic with a higher content of carbonate which makes it stronger, more rigid and less likely to warp do to heat from the lamps. You should be able to get it from any acrylic fabricator. prices will vary.
