Yes, it's recommended that the UVB bulb be replaced every 6 months.
A great one to use is the Repti-SUN 10.0 (not to be confused by repti-glo).
I have chosen to use the Powersun 100watt for now, and have had no problems with it. I love it and my beardies do as well.
Good luck!

It depends on the bulb. Long flourescent tubes 6 months. Mercury vapor bulbs, yearly.

Thanks for the input

Just to clarify things I am asking what bulb you are using and how often you replace it/intend on replacing it

I use megarays MVB for my older guys and change them out yearly and reptisun 10.0 linear for the babies and those need to be changed out every 6 months.

Every 18 months. But, I run the EB MVB kit from ReptileUV.

Actually, I run several of them.
