Habitat - Indoor :: UVB 10.0

[ekimsotnas07]

looking to get a new uvb bulb for my setup..
right now i got a zoo med powersun 100w but i think its time to change it and im looking for something cheaper because i can only find uvb light bulbs online . The walls of the ATBA are 15 inches form the surface and 5.0 is only effective up to 12, so i was thinking maybe a 10.0 would work?

It should be OK... was there a specific brand you wanted to use?

My choices are between the exo terra repti-glo or the zoo med ReptiSun..
Is one better than the other or just about the same?

Reptisun bulbs (the compact variety that use standard fixtures) are a bit strong compared to bulbs with similar branding. 12-15" should be OK.

Thanks steve.
