im getting a wooden viv for my yemen and i need uvb so i wanted to find out if mvb bulbs were any good. i have access to the arcadia bulbs.

I think MVBs are more for bearded dragon type reptiles than chameleons. They produce intense UVB and heat but as long as you set it up at the proper distance I don't see why you couldn't use it.

I actually build custom enclosures on the side, what part of the installation is giving you problems?

I've heard that MVB are either too hot for proper uvb, or don't give enough at a safe distance away. I'd stick to the linear uvb and regular basking.
