The Dutch Chameleon Society also has tested different brands of UV lighting. They primarily recommend Arcadia and Zoomed Reptisun as a good alternative. For high enclosures we also use Zoomed Powersun.
From Arcadia the compact lightbulbs are also very good. Still a high UV output for up to and...
Hmmm Motherlode Chameleon, the store i bought him from sold him to me saying this is the Fort Dauphin variety. I thought that that ment that those animals are semicristatus.
