UVB bulb alternatives?

[CGuzmanReptiles]

So its time to replace my beardies uvb bulb and I found out that my local petsmart (the only place to find the reptisun 10.0 ) discontinued the product. I searched everywhere but I cant seem to find someone in Puerto Rico that sells that darn uvb bulb. I tried contacting several companies to see if I can just buy them or the Arcadia online but no one seems to ship them to PR.

So my question would be: what would be the “3rd best bulb” I should consider getting as I have no way to get either a reptisun or arcadia.

Thanks in advance.

PR means what ? Puerto Rico ?

Go to Ebay and find Arcadia 12%UVB of similar length if you are using a tube.
There are also a lot places who will ship UVB tubes very well packaged to you by post , even internationally , use PayPal to pay for the order , this way if the tube is broken enroute (you can very easily claim a refund for all the costs including return postage).
If you can't source from a US seller like LLL Reptile http://www.lllreptile.com/catalog/186-fluorescent-linear-tube-uvb-bulbs , I've bought lights from them and they shipped o/seas
, try Birmingham Reptiles in the UK https://www.reptile-specialist.co.uk/uv-tubes.html , I've bought Arcadia lights from them and they shipped to me (I'm in Australia).

If a compact , I'd swap over to Exo Terra 26W UVB200 , these are excellent for smaller tanks.
