Just worry about finding a basking bulb that produces the temperatures you need. All incandescents produce some amount of UVA, including the flukers bulb if it's an incandescent.[/i][/list] Sure, just be careful of your source of information. I'd be hesitant taking lighting advice from someone who refers to a wavelength as a nutrient, if that's what they meant. Your UVB bulb produces far more UVA than a basking bulb that states it produces UVA anyways. The flukers bulb is an incandescent correct? All incandescent bulbs produce UVA. Once again, not in any large amounts, but that is the purpose of your UVB bulb. The common terminology for "UVB bulb" really should be changed to "UV bulb" as its sole function isn't just producing UVB, but UVA also. Your basking bulbs only real function is to provide proper temperatures. That is why for decades we have recommend people to use regular household bulbs for their basking bulbs as they are cheaper, and they only really need to produce your proper temperatures. Just to reiterate for anyone else who might come across this thread: UV bulb produces the needed UVB and UVA levels. Basking bulb produces the needed heat. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
