Habitat - Indoor :: full spectrum / total spectrum lighting

[Rafa2k]

Has anyone used full spectrum lighting in their enclosure, or have valid information on it? I currently use the Reptisun 10.0 UVB lights but am looking at the full spectrum lights in my planted aquariums. I'm wondering, since it is full spectrum, if it would provide the required UVB lighting the turtle needs.

Thanks!

Unless it specifically says UVB, it likely does not release any UVB.

There are laws against releasing UVB with normal lights.

That being said, a UVB plus full spectrum is likely better for your turtle.

Thank you, I think the Reef lights UVB+ full spectrum. I'll look into that
