So the light is all setup. Anyone notice how little light these T5 florescent bulbs give off? Its a very white light which looks nice, but it barely lights up the enclosure! I know that's not the point, its meant for UVB but paying that much for a light, it be nice if it looked nice.
That being said my basking spot light lights up the terrarium well, but it has a very yellowish tinge to it. Wish it looked more like the other light, with the natural white light. Is there certain bulbs that be better for them, because they give off a more natural light than this odd yellow. I got the Exo Terra Intense Basking spotlight.

If you need more light, throw an LED bulb in a basking light. It won't put off heat or UVB but will give your dragon more light if you feel it's too dark. They cost $3/year to run and are dirt cheap at Lowes ($2/bulb).
I have 7 of these on during the day in overhead fixtures to provide a better day/night cycle for our animals. All 7 bulbs still draw less power than a single 50 watt incandescent.
