Wow that seems really cheap. It doesn't have a percentage rating to compare like other UVB bulbs, but it says that it produces a higher level of UVB than similar bulbs, which i would be worried about if it's true. But definitely something to investigate for that price!

I've seen this bulb as well. You might ask them what percentage UVB it provides.

Says that they generate more UVB than competitor's 5.0 fluorescent tubes, but they are showing 2 models on the same page.

Here are some 5.0 for $16.95 (I've heard that these go on sale on occasion)
