For anyone using a UV light resting on top of a mesh viv.

To stop the glare and increase the UV into the cage, place a Gutter (black drain type) over the top, but first line the inside of the gutter with reflective aluminium tape. Both available from B&Q etc.

These work out cheaper than buying the proper metal reflectors.
