The 13w and the 26w?

I bought the 13w for my turtle and it should be coming in tomorrow...
but did I buy the wrong one? Should I have gotten the 26w instead?
I'm confused.

Also, since it's the 13w bulb, how far away from the basking dock should
I place it?

Is this a fluorescent tube or a compact fluorescent?

Check the UVB output on the bulbs. The one with the higher wattage sounds like it gives off a higher UVB percentage.
