Ah right, got it now, so that ReptiGlo Compact 10.0 along with a Spot Light will provide the right lighting? I'd prefer that UVA light than having the tube even if the tube would provide the right stuff as it would be more practical.

Would a spot light like this be alright? http://www.livefoodsbypost.co.uk/clear-spot-bulb-60w-bc-bayonet-1804-p.asp

Thanks,

Tom

U can use the fish tube combined with another UVb source, thats no problem. When having UVa is always better but not nececary (maybe for better breeding result, but don't know beardies that well). If u hang your UVb compact lamp near the hottest baskingspot it will be suffecient. When your beardies warm at the spot they get UVb. The exo-terra looks alright, but don't know it personally. I would prefer normal spots which u can buy at a normal hardware store. They are less cheaper and have the same results. Personnaly i use philips par38 lamps. But they are a bit big for your viv.

For more info about reptile UVa and UVb you can read www.reptileuv.com (it is from megaray but has good standard information).

Dont fortget to replace your main UVb source ones in 8/9 months. Because the amount of UVb will be much lower then.
