UVB bulb

[dragonscales]

Hello, which uvb would you go with?
- The Arcadia 12% Tube
- The reptisun 10.0 Tube
- The reptisun 10.0 HO Tube

my enclosure is a 4'x2'x2' Zen Habitats Reptile Enclosure
thanks as always.

Reptisun 10.0 always gets my vote, but they're noth good bulbs. The HO reptisun has increased UVB for large enclosures.

How much longer

How much longer

I've seen different references stating the Arcadia bulbs are guaranteed 12 months while the reptisun 6 to 8 months. People have also came across these results by using a meter to read the UV levels. But if you have a meter then you can go based off of that
