Is this bulb ok?

[Rony]

I have been using only 1 bulb, the 125w solar glo. It is supposed to also have UVB, and I’m just asking if it really has UVB & heat.

Hello,

The SolarGlo MVB is a nice & bright bulb. It does provide heat & UVB yes. Though, the UVB
isn't real strong so I recommend using a T5 in combination with it for a more complete lighting
setup.
How far from your dragon is it?

30-35cm

25-35cm is about the right range for the 125w version of that bulb. I prefer using MVBs as portable basking lights and travel lights though due to their relatively narrow beam and lack of ability to control UVB and heat independently. Having a wide beam and more precise control is important in the main enclosure.
