Are any of these lights UV shielded? I would prefer that they are not.

no UV output from them to worry about so no shielding.
Ok sense you are using them for actinic lighting only I would say change them every two years or when they burn out. No all the pet stores are going to be screaming murder at me right not but sense you are using them for "Color" the out put isn't important. I have been running on VHO for almost 3 years and the other for 1 year (one broke).
Oh one question, how are you buying them from hello lights when they do not ship to Canada?
