Hey, I'm getting ride of my coil uvb bulbs( Don't trust them ), and I just went out and got a Aqueon Deluxe Full Hood, it comes with a 18" t8 full spectrum lamp, I was wondering will this give enough UVB ?, never used the full spectrum long tube lights before not sure what it rly does
 
Full spectrum just gives the appearance of daylight. It does not provide any UVB, strictly UVA. You will need to purchase a linear fluorescent UVB bulb (like a Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 or 10.0).
 
thank you !, I went to the pet store and bought the 18", 10.0 uvb bulb, that's good enough right ?

That is fine to use with your chameleon. Many people may say that is too strong and you should get the 5.0 but it really won't be.
