Uv strip light plus uvb basking bulb.

[cpl1307]

Hi,
I've taken advice off here and replaced my red heat lamp with a UVB White flood light. I wanted to ask have I done it right. I've got a arcadia UV Strip bulb in there already and now just put in the 50w UVB Floodlight bulb.
Is this right?

Can you photograph or describe that "UVB FLOODLIGHT bulb"?

I don't think the flood bulb has uvb, not that I know of.
The flood bulb is for basking. You will have to temp it to be sure it reaches between 95-100 at tortoise height. If it's close to that temp you can lower the bulb a bit or put a flat rock under it for the tort to bask on. If the temp is way off, you may need a bigger watt bulb.
The strip bulb should be uvb and that's good.

It says on the box. 50w Heat. Solar basking e27 UVA.
Is that right? I wrote uvb but its uva and ticked as infrared even thought it's white.
