You need to research and see what bulb is affordable for you and which will do what you need it to - UVA/UVB, heat, and the like. As long as you have the proper fixture that is rated for the wattage of whatever bulb you choose.


I was not trying to offend anyone. Its just that the power sun has a bad reputation. You don't have to take my word on it. Check out the reviews on Amazon. Sorry if I offended you it was not my intent.

No offense taken. I was just giving my experiences with the bulb. I've never had an issue and it provides what Sheldon needs. :) If you have had experiences with other bulbs then it beneficial for all of us to know in case we need new ones. :) Hope I didn't upset you. :)

Reptisun tubes are considered to be very good.
