Combo bulbs

As far as what I remember from what I've been reading, the issue with those combo bulbs isn't an eyesight thing ( that's the compact spiral uvb) it's more an issue of they can't choose to regulate their exposure like they could wig two separate heat & UVB bulbs. If they need UVB, they have to stay in the heat, and if they need heat, they have to stay under the UVB. If theres two bulbs, they could go to other side to get UVB but not heat, etc.
I'm no expertt of course, but that's what I remember reading somewhere.
