    Solarglo?

    Wife rescued dragon and was told solarglo was okay for uvb and heat but can't find info to back this up. Will it work with basking light or do I need something else? Thanks

    I'm curious as well. It would be nice to have a 2 for 1 deal in a bulb but I haven't seen anyone use these yet.

    I have heard the powersun bulbs are great, but that was from one guy who seemed slightly off his rocker and very biased toward the product. I think he spent more time under the bulb than his lizard did. heh.

    Re: Solarglo?

    The solar glo bulb is exo terra's version of the powersun. Its an MVB that will provide heat and UVA/UVB...when measured under a light meter the MVBs seem to put off more UV than the tube lights, however IMO you are only getting your UV on the basking site. Many people.love them however I use flourescent fixtures that run the length of the cage for my UV. Either way should be fine though.
