What UVB lights do you guys/girls use???

[Megatron]

I am in the process of putting a new Viv together and had a question about the proper lighting regarding UVB. I have an adult male, roughly 20" or so and will be in a 50"x20"x20". It's actually a bookcase from Ikea I am going to turn on it's side and customize from there.

Anyways. There has been a lot of talk about the proper UVB and I would like to know what y'all are using. Was looking for the fluorescent type that I would mount to the top of the enclosure and would more than likely use a 75/100 watt basking bulb and a ceramic coil heater for the night.

So, what are you guys using? Suggestions would be awesome, maybe with the place purchased as well. Thanks for the time. Cheers

98% of the people on here will advise you to use a Reptisun 10.0 uvb tube. Never coil. It has been tested numerous times and the findings conclude that it provides the most uvb radiation given that it had no interference with directly contacting your beardie. Should not have glass or screen mesh between the light source and dragon. Also, it should be between 6-10 inches away from your dragon.

Best place to order from in my opinion.

As mentioned, Reptisun 10.0 is the best and most reliable UVB bulb to use. You can find it sold online at Pet Mountain, LLL Reptile, or in some local pet stores (not Petsmart or Petco). I buy mine at a small local mom and pop pet store that carries them.
