UVA/UVB bulb questions

So I am getting pygmy chameleons soon and I was wondering is the reptisun 5.0 good enough for plants and uvb or should I get a exo terra repti glow 2.0 for UVA and UVB. Or should I stick with a plant growth cfl and a exo terra uvb 100? I know some people don't use uvb lights but I am planning to.
 
My take on UVB for Pygmys is that they get it in the wild so they should have it in captivity.

Obviously provide Shade spots /dense foliage so they can get out of the UVB when they want.

For all my Pygmy enclosure I use an Arcadia 6% bulb and Jungle Dawn LEDs. It's one of the only combos of lights that I could successfully keep the temperatures low enough for the Pygmy glass vivariums.

K thanks for the advice but will the reptisun 5.0 be enough UVA it says it emits 30%
 
Yes you will be fine with a 5.0. You may want to make sure that the bulb is lifted off the top of the screen as they can be alittle intense for pymgys, unless you have really dense foilage.
