Are plant lights safe for beardies?

I have kale and cilantro growing in Mari’s viv, but they are not photosynthesizing properly, so I was wondering if a growth light would be safe for Mari. I would have this in addition to her UVB.

Yeah you could get a dual bulb T5 fixture and have 1 bulb be a good UVB bulb and the other be a 6500k grow light. That would brighten things up even further.

Woah there Mr. Moneybags, I’m still on T8 bulbs. It’s cheaper if I just buy another Zilla fixture, ditch the bulb and cover, and stick a light in that. ?

Yes a 6000 to 6500 k grow light is completely safe for your beardie.
