Favorite UVB Bulb?

When I first set my tanks up I used the Reptisun 10.0 T8HO tube style bulb. I had it sitting on the mesh top of my tank, which cuts out a percentage of the UVB that you actually get. So I had to have a set up to get them about 4 inches from the UVB and I had to change the bulbs every 6 months. Dexter is 2 now and getting to be a little heffer so I didn't really want her to be up so high in her tank. I recently switched to the Reptisun 10.0 T5HO tube bulbs. It required buying whole new fixtures but I got them at a good price and it was the best decision ever! The tanks are brighter and Dexter is a lot more active. The UVB covers a wider area of the tank so she doesn't need to be as close to the light anymore, even with it sitting on the mesh top. So everything is now closer to the ground for her so she really can't hurt herself if she falls off her ledge.
