Hi all. I’m new to the forum and I’m hoping I’m posting this in the correct category. If not I apologize in advance…. So I’m having a little trouble with a lighting issue and was hoping someone would have some advise.
I’ve used 24” Reptisun 10.0 UVB tube lights in all my enclosures alone with Zoo-Med Repti Basking spot lamps for many years and have been noticing a difference in the quality of the Zoo-Med bulbs for quite some time now. After a lot of thought I decided to try a new bulb brand in a few of the enclosures and see how they work out before switching them all over at the end of the year when I do my bulb changes again. I’ve been using the new bulbs for about a week now and so far I’m really liking the output and quality in general. Fast forward to today I wanted to see if there were any reviews. After doing a little more research I’ve found out that these bulbs have ubv rays and not just uva as I was under the impression of. No where on the box did it mention uvb. Anyhow this brings me to my question. I need to find out if I’m using too much uvb using both bulbs or if the uvb in my full spectrum bulbs is so low it wouldn’t be a problem using together with a uvb 10.0 tube light. The following is the info I was able to find online on the full spectrum bulb. It lists how much uvb output it has i just don’t know enough to know if that’s too much in addition to my other lighting. Hope this wasn’t too confusing and thank you in advance for any advise/ input on the issue =)
