Is this the right light bulb?
 I think I'm regreting to buy this light bulb and lamp without asking you Sifus first.Please help !This bulb is from exo-terra, 26W.I don't think this is enough for CPs,yes ?And it's 2.0 UVB (I don't know what that means).It's says plants also grow in that light so I decided to buy it.(that time la)  (I don't know what the heck does this mean,either)  It glows in the dark

Re: Is this the right light bulb?
I don't know about the specification of the ligh but I recon the light source should be much more closer to the plants. Say 6 inches off.

Re: Is this the right light bulb?
Most of what I've read says amount of light is more important than type of light, and amount depends a lot on how close the plants are to it. So yes, move them LOTS closer.

 Cloth hanger for comparism.  And yes they are the Reptiglow 2.0 UVB.......Erm,whats the difference between UVB and UVA?Which one benefits plants?

Re: Is this the right light bulb?
2.0 means 2% UVB, Marvin. If it states full spectrum then UVA and UVB are included. Is the light bulb too hot? If not you can shift it a little more closer to the plants.
