i am using uvb + basking bulb right now but just know about all in one Zoo Med PowerSun UV 100W Bulb. Can i use it ? Is it bad for the dragons ?
 
Yes, you can use it for dragons, provided the enclosure is big enough to handle 100w. You don't want your dragon to get too hot.

Powersuns are expensive and occassionally burn out too early. Be aware though, that if they get too hot, they will shut off until the bulb cools.
 
as a note, i just got the flukers sun sOpt, and it has been a total headache. 1 week= 2 bulbs, in multiple fixtures in multiple different outlets and it is still shutting off in 30 seconds of plug in... let it cool for 30 minutes then turn it back on and the same results...... I will be sticking with fluorescents and 75w black light bulbs ($4 from home depot) as a heat source for my animals....

still waiting on a return e-mail from Flukers "Help"......

I hope there is a logical explanation, i would love for them to prove me wrong....
