Hey guys I upgraded to T5 arcadia 22' UVB lights/fixtures and I use a house bulb and/or basking bulbs made for reptiles. I need/want to use a lighter less wattage basking bulb since summer is coming.
My question is I see a lot of bulbs for sale but some seem to have UVB and/or UV rays. Now since I use a UVB tube already if I got a UVB/UV bulb it would be too much UVB/UV for them wouldn't it? For example I use a 150W for my Amber's enclosure atm and I'm gonna get a lower wattage for the hot summer weather. Should I use the same bulb brand (flukers) and get a lower wattage? Or should I get one with the UVB/UV bulb or does it even matter? I don't wanna give them a extra dose of UVB/UV and have it be too much for them.
