Just got a JCP this week and had the enclosure all set up with a infrared for heat and an Exo Terra UVB 2.0 for aesthetic/display purposes. The lights are plugged into a Fluker light fixture. 1 day later, the Exo Terra UVB 2.0 bulb started flickering and burnt out. Tried it in other fixtures, just to be sure it was the bulb.
Long story short, can't find another UVB 2.0 in my area, so I'll need to order one and/or get the defective bulb replaced by Hagen (Exo Terra). My question is, will using a 5.0 bulb have any ill effects? What about a general household compact fluorescent light bulb, such as a GE 13 watt?
