Certainly.
There is also the Arcadia 12% in the UK, and in Australia there is the NEC t-10 Black light uvb tube.
As for the MVBs, the Mega is first, the T Rex is second.
Looks good.

for mvb a solar-glo is fine

A Solar Glo is ok but doesn't rank as high as the Megaray and T-Rex. The PowerSun has had some health issues associated with it, just thought I would add that.

I use the T-Rex light and I'm very happy with it

if the lights are just 1 small bulb how do u get it to cover the entire cage so they are always getting uvb? like the tube does?

Well the MVB bulbs actually need to be 12-14 inches away so ether way you are getting a very nice wide range of it. You would put it over the basking area. Just my 2cents hope this helps.

my bulb is placed on one end and it gives out plenty of light for the whole area to be well lit so much so I had to place logs standing straight up to give her a nice shady spot on the other side away from the light.

as stated above I use the T-Rex bulb and I like it

I'm using megaray on one cage

on the other 2 cages i have i use a regular basking sunglo 75watt bulb, and for UVA/UVB i use reptisun 10.0 florescent.
