Iguana Light? (5.0 UVB?)

[Syn]

Would this be alright for a chameleon or say a bearded dragon?
It says 5.0 UVB but it also says IGUANA light LOL!!!

Just curious if anyone has had any use with these, because someone is selling 3 unopened 10$ each, and that's a good deal.

iguana light 5.0 and reptisun 5.0 is essentially the same thing.
the name change is for marketing purpose.

Awesome! Thank you Dodolah, then I have an awesome deal on my hands, mwahahaha!

If you use this light, it will turn your chameleon into a chamiguana.

Actually, no.
It is the exact same light.
Dodolah is right, the packaging is a marketing tool.

I need to correct myself. The Iguana light produces 30% UVA in addition to 5% UVB.
The reptisun 5.0 only produces 5% UVB

Iguana Light 5.0 Linear Fluorescent: This lamp is equivalent to the ReptiSun 5.0 linear fluorescent, and was developed to assure the consumer that this lamp is safe and effective for use with Iguanas.

From the ZooMed website: Link

I had heard there is no difference . I can't imagine them spending the money to make a lamp just for iguana owners.

In my own reading between the lines that just means 'we looked into this being good for iguanas... and it is... so we spent some money on an add campaign and a new style box.'

Edit: I can't honestly say if there is or isn't a difference.... BUT I will say, if the picture in the OP is the lamp that comes with the iguana box... the ends have a green color.... a 5.0 reptisun has red/pinkish ends... so... maybe it is a different lamp.
