The Reptisuns are more powerful and put out more UVB. So to roughly match a Reptisun 5.0 you'd need a Reptiglo 10.0.
Although, on second thought, I think Reptiglo just revamped their lights so I'm not sure how they match up at this point. I haven't done any comparisons with a Solarmeter nor have I seen any done. But as far as the most recent info I have, the Reptisuns are the better bulbs to buy.

They are almost the same. Both are 6 phosphor units made in germany. They might be be made in the same plant. A pet shop is going to stock one or the other, but not both.

From what I've read, Reptisun has the closest level of UVB output compared to the sun without being dangerous or not enough. I'm no expert on UVB or the bulbs that provide it, just what I've read from testing reports. But I will say that all of my bulbs are Reptisun brand and my animals seem happy and grow well.
