I have been using an 18 inch UVB bulb for the last 5 months made by Reptisun. The package says 15 watts, T-8, 10.0 UVB, the #1 Reptile lamp world wide. It was the bulb my veterinarian suggested.
Last Friday, I went to the pet store and asked where the UVB bulbs were? The lady asked me what I had. I told her a Bearded Dragon and she grabs a bulb off the rack and hands it to me.
This one is made by ZILLA It says Desert Series 50, T8, 15 watt.
The first bulb says 10.0 UVB which is supposed to be ideal. On my new bulb's box, it gives a graph with a UVB/UV index. It tells you how much UVB the pet will get from being 4 inches away, 12 inches away, etc. why can't it just say how many UVB's the light produces like the Reptisun tells you straight out on the box. 10.0 UVB.
Now I don't know whether I should use this new bulb or not?
Can someone help me? Thank you.
