Lighting overkill?

[Curlytails]

I have a 12.0 arcadia linear bulb whith lots of foliage for cover. I was wondering is ading a cfl uvb 5.0 for extra lights would be overkill.

Increasing the amount of UVB bulbs doesn’t nesesarily make more UVB. Two 6.0 bulbs doesn’t make it a 12. Just more coverage with the same strength of 6.0. I would recommend against a CFL. They don’t last long and are notorious for causing eye problems.

I know that they dont multiply uvb but i was saying if its ok to use as a normal light for the time being.
