UVB Question

[katy32]

I have a friend who has a few brand new Exo Terra UVB 200 light bulbs (26w) that he is giving away (his 10 year old beardie just passed) They are brand new in the package and I have first dibs. Before I take them though are these too high powered for Gizmo? If they are I will pass and just buy him a different bulb. Just wanted to get some opinions from people who have a better understanding of these than I do.
Many thanks in advance.

The CFL UVB lights are not really great. That bulb will not give a good spread of UVB.

At the moment that is all I have a fixture for. I plan on upgrading it soon, just wondering if this bulb will be too much in the mean time.

Yes, it is a little too much, unless your cage is 4ft tall or taller, i would pass.
