Reptiglo 8.0 or Reptisun 10.0?

I normally use a Reptisun 10.0 from ZooMed on my dragons but it figures that there would be none at the store when I needed one. Instead I got the Reptiglo 8.0 from exo-terra. Is this going to be ok? What are your opinions on this? Thanks.

The reptiglo 8.0 is an okay light and is what I used to use, the reptisun 10.0 is better though. If the store has a reptisun 5.0 those actually have a slightly higher UV output than the reptiglo 8. So basically, there are better bulbs available, but your dragon will be fine with what you have now

I have some reptisun 5.0 bulbs and they work fine for me.

I have never tried the 10.0 or the reptiglo 8.0 bulbs.

http://www.uvguide.co.uk/fluorescenttuberesults.htm - here's a site that shows some tests done on some of the different UV bulbs currently available as regards the amount of UV they actually put out. The Reptisun 10.0 is currently the top bulb available here (as far as flourescents go) but as mentioned before, the reptiglo 8.0 is acceptable. Just sharing this for information's sake
