Ours was a cross-sectional observational study of all LFPDs in major hospitals in Jos between January and March 2015. We evaluated a total of 24 LFPDs. The irradiance at the level of the baby was in the range of 2\u201323.9\u2009\u00b5W\/cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \/nm.

Decreasing distance from the baby, presence of reflectors and increasing number of flourecent tubes significantly contributed to higher irradiance. A combination of six tubes, presence of reflectors and a distance of 10\u2009cm from the baby produced a mean irradiance of 23.40\u2009\u00b5W\/cm\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    \/nm.
