For a UV bulb (300 w / in, 4in arc length) at a spectral range of 254- 270nm , how can I calculate the dose at 10 cm distance?

Hi,

For an approximation consider it a 1200 watt point source. Then at 10 cm the 1200 watts will have spread over the 10 cm radius sphere. This would then give slight less than 1 watt/square centimeter.

You can modify this simple approximation for your actual conditions.
