I don't think a straight yes or no can realy cover it. Yes i do use them, but don't rely on them as i first used to a few years ago. If my tort's were inside a lot i might use them more.
Starting about two summer's ago with Herman's and Leopards able to be outside with provided heat shelter's i don't provide much artificial uv but do lean towards more heat as in spot bulb's ect. Plus supplement's powdered occasionly, plus a good pellet with added B3.

I'm another one that uses them when torts are indoors which is several months of the year. So I didn't see an option that looked right for me.

hang on I supplement and light and rarely have my torts outside cause of neighborhood issues, so do I supplement or light. If I can get away with just supplementing it would make like alot easier.

I know for a fact you can get away with one or the other.
It's like drinking fortified milk. The caution is to not over supplement.
