Made with Lumiram's unique phosphor blend, the Lumichrome® 1XX full spectrum fluorescent lamp has the highest color rendering index in the world of 98 and is the closest reproduction to natural daylight. With a color temperature of 6500°K, Lumichrome® 1XX matches outdoor lighting in the morning hours and has a bright white appearance. Since it is also produced in the T 8 version, the product uniquely combines energy efficiency with brilliant natural colors. Lumichrome® 1XX should be specified whenever superior color rendition and high energy efficiency are required. The Lumichrome 1XX is recommended for the illumination of spas, health and fitness centers, offices, photo and dental labs. And, of course, it's a wonderful choice for the home. Due to its higher output in the near UV range, (300 nanometers) this fluorescent is also quite beneficial in the pet industry, especially for the illumination of reptile cages and fish tanks.

Thats not a uvb bulb.

OR at least not a bulb suitable to the UVB needs of dragons.

Any bulb that is recommended to be used under human circumstances, you can pretty much guarantee that it would be no good for our dragons UVB needs. As human bulbs are not to emit UVB as that would be dangerous to our health.

Brandon is right, it's not a UVB light.
This statement that I quoted from you iluvmybeardies just means that it gives off UVA, a white light.

especially for the illumination of reptile cages and fish tanks.
