If you are just trying to get UVB rays then that is fine. If you want some heat also then you'll have to change bulb types to a UVB/Basking type bulb.

I have the zoo med double dome for him to bask under.I use just one bulb but have the other on standby for cooler days or if the other bulb goes out. I just wanna get mim the uvb....its a small 24"strip fixture so should I put it by the basking light like the beardies or try to center it in chamber?
