Bearded Dragon UVB Lighting

[Ricsanity']

Hey Guys, I just want to ask what specific UVB light and how strong I need it to be. It is for a 40 gallon Tank. I have a UVB buld that is attached to a dome and it is only 10.0

I think 10.0 is enough but Im not sure if I need the longer one? Please help? Also I have a 100w basking bulb that I think maybe is okay because I placed a basking branch that is too close so my dragon and pick a spot.

Hello, compact UVB bulbs are very bad for bearded dragons as they can hurt their eyes. I would highly suggest a T5 reptisun 22-inch bulb instead.

Thank you very much. I got the same advice from Sadie. Is it okay to place it on top of my Screen? Also, He usually stays on top of that branch (In the photo). Would it be okay for him to be that close even if I switched to a T5 Reptisun? or would that be too much UVB if there is a thing. Thank you again

Hi Buddy, so I got the new reptisun T5 10.0. I just want to make sure of this is okay. Ill attach some photos. It is because the UVB tube does nit directly hit him due to the basking dome lamp being there. And he usually stays under it most part of the day. Here are some photos:
