very important lighting question about UVB lighting.

I had to go to lowes to buy a light fixture big enough for my lizard cage, the only one i could find is a dual florecent lighting fixture. Since i know the lizard only needs one uvb/uva light i put one in and am using a normal house hold flourcent light from lowes in the other slot.

Now my question is will the normal flourcent light cancel out the uvb/uva rays? Will they conflict at all or am i ok?

Very Good Question....

I use Exoterra (Hagen Lighting Center for Reptiles) They Recommend a 2%
Bulb with either the 5% or 10% fluoresent tubes.........I've used regular tubes in the second slot on many of my set-ups..... never noticed any adverse
effects......
