Reptisun LED t5 uvb question

[Permutation]

Before I start I have 10.0 t5 ho tube lights for all my dragons.

I was just curious about the amount of uvbs produced by the reptisun led t5. Has anyone tested them? Are they harsh on their eyes like coils? I assume they are only good for non desert lizards but figured I would ask you guys and gals. I am just interested in the extended life of them over tubes.

Nm I figured it out, it just combines led with a tube light...

Hello,

I have never used any LED lighting for our dragons yet. I know they are bright, but I don't think there has been a lot of research done on them so far, but they seem to be gaining some popularity.
Which setup are you looking at?

That hood has both a fluorescent UVB bulb and LEDs (as you figured out), and it's a good option IMO.

See my thread on full spectrum lighting: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=235017

You really should plan on having the additional lighting and IMO that hood is a good choice. If you want more expanded options check out some of the other lights discussed in that thread.
