PICS of IMPROPER COMPACT BULBS
Please understand that Both the 10.0 and 5.0 version of these bulbs are creating many problems for the reptile/s we love and keep, affecting their vision and health. All species are affected, and because Bearded Dragons are so popular and sought after by young and old alike they are one of the most severely affected.....
I hope that you are fortunate enough to see this first and avoid the mistake so commonly made. Until further research and studies reveal the problems are corrected I would steer clear of these items. If you have any doubts just ask ..... I can imagine this thread will get rather long, we may have to have a separate thread just for the questions and answers ....lol Best regards CP |

These coiled lights are still not good. While so far, on the initial testing, they have not had the photo therapy phosphor, they do have a very low UVB output. The amount of UVA is decent but the UV index is a little high in comparison to the overall UVB emissions. The other problem with compacts & coils is that it does cause quite a bit of glare on their eyes so care needs to be taken if any are used & always be mounted overhead & be used in conjunction with bright white lighting.

Good post.. there are MANY questions about proper lighting! There are so many dangerous things on the shelves sold in petstores anymore... it makes it so confusing and easy to buy something that may harm your dragon. :( Sux... Nina |
