Stick with Powersun or the Arcadia, they put out the best UVB

i wouldn't use a tube to be honest i would go for a mega ray from Kimbo's reptile's ,tubes don last 2 mins and the uv output isn't that good.

tubes have a place if you're using a big table or have a dark room as they will light up more of the table if the tube is the same length, combined bulbs are good but can leave dark areas as they only light the area below the bulb.

If your after a tube to light up a dark corner or table in a dark room go for the 2.0 they have no useable UV but are a whiter light and used in combination with either a uv tube or mercury vpaour they balance the light spectrum very well and provide a nice lighting set-up.
