So the one issue not being addressed is the additional spectrum of light offered from the bulbs. It adds to a more natural experience. A heat emitter will not "show" the animal the source, and simply pointing it at the UVB source may not work.
Not that it can't work, I just prefer the bulbs.
I agree with that, but it would make sense they are seeking out uvb since in the wild it would be paired with heat. They don't have a warm bright area with no uvb. When I say all this I assume one has a brightly lit cage already, either by a window or using grow lights. Infact I have no problem using grow lights as a basking spot either.
