[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2029860, member: 31715"] While meant with good intention, that advice is erroneous. The goal is a proper spectra output as a whole over the enclosure. In this case, proper means as close as possible to natural sunlight. Your UVB bulb is already producing visible light more towards the higher levels of the visible spectra (the "cooler" colors). UVB bulbs are horrible at producing spectra in the lower ends such as the reds and yellows. Natural sunlight has a mixture of these wavelengths. A "warmer" colored basking light, paired with the "cooler" colors of the UVB light actually pair quite harmoniously to achieve a closer spectra to natural sunlight as opposed to only using "White" lights. Using only cool colored (or white) lights in your enclosure deprives your lighting spectra of the other necessary colors to mimic sunlight. That particular basking bulb would pair very nicely with a typical uvb tube. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
