I personally use the Repti-GLO tubes in 3 enclosures and have had no problems from them what so ever. The previous problems from the Repti-GLO tubes was due to using poor quality glass to make them and has since been fixed. Any brand of coil or compact UVB bulb is extremely dangerous, not just the Repti-GLO ones.

yeah i also have the 10.0 repti-glo flouresnt tube thing and my beardie is doing just fine. On the other hand i just brought the repti-glo so its bout 2weeks old.

Check out this very detailed discussion about just what you are asking about! Are all uvb-producing compact fluorescents dangerous to beardies? Compact lamps unsafe? UVGuideUK brief update

I found it very informative.
