No sorry. the reptiglo is bad. The Reptisun or the Arcadia 12% since you are in the UK, is the only bulbs you should even consider. All the others cause health problems.

Also, don't buy that night bulb. Beardies actually can see the light it gives off, and it disturbs there sleep cycle. If your tank isn't getting under 65 degrees at night you don't even need extra heat during the night. IF you do, you need to get a Ceramic heat emitter.

That petstore that you were at should have a CHE, most petshops i've been to do.

If your going to order online, it would be better to buy the Arcadia 12%, it is a better bulb than the reptisun. Of course, the reptisun is a good bulb too if your going to order that one.

I think the Wattage is actually determined by how long the bulb is. So the wattage you get doesn't really matter, just the length of the bulb. You want a length that covers 2/3rds of your tank.

Oh... hmm I think I depends on the size of your tank and fixture. Didn't know that they had wattages. :?

im from the uk aswell and personally ive found that the reptisun lights are very expensive over here.
i use the arcadia d3 12% tube and i order them online from https://reptilekeeping.co.uk/
have used them for 4 years now, it might be worth comparing the prices.
