Does the Repti-Sun 5.0 really have both UVA and UVB in one bulb? If so, why isn't it mentioned by any of the reviewer's here on Amazon?

We use this during the day along with a red light all of the time for our chameleon. Hope this helps.

This particular bulb is uvb only.Don't expect to find a combo bulb at this pricing.

I haven't tryed heat emitters in it yet . So far I have only had a Exo Terra Repti Glo 10.0 UVB compact 26w in it and it's been working great ! . If you put a emitter in please let me know how it works :) .

Turtles and tortoises need a nighttime cool down just like they would get in the wild so it's better not to have a light at night at all. During the day they need a light for heat and UVA/UVB. The PowerSun bulbs are the best for this.

I have this fixture for my beardie, and I use a compact fluorescent UVB bulb by Zoo Med, and it fits perfectly! Here's the link for the bulb: Reptisun 10.0 Uvb Mini Compact Fluorescent

You can and I do. I have two mini lamps for heat and one for UVB. It works out very well.

I don't know.if I was supposed to take a guess I would assume they sent another bulb other than UVC bulb.

I will be very honest with you, this unit I got, the UV light shorted out or burned out. But they replaced the whole unit for me. However, I did not get the same one with the UV in it. So I have never replaced the bulb! I had no problems with the company & recieving my replacement filter. I don't know if this helped you or not.

I use a UVA/UVB bulb and heat with this fixture, but you can use it for any 2 bulbs that you need. Note, though, this is ONLY the fixture and does NOT come with any bulbs.

The manufacturer doesn't have a bulb replacement and that is one reason why its a UVA and not UVC bulb. The latter needs to be changed every 6 months or so as indicated by their other products and is also more effective against germs.

Great unit for the price. Be aware that the UV bulb has a life span, they all do. You can get a replacement at www.replacementlightbulbs.com #G4T5 for 3.50.

This bulb is perfect for all reptiles that require natural sunlight. You will need to get the right length bulb for your cage/tank, but it's a great product.

I know what UV sun rays are but I have no idea what RV rays are. I thought an RV was some kind of a vehicle. I haven't got a tan from the bulb or burn so I would say no, however I've only had it a short time. There might be better sources than other customers though. Sorry. trin.

No they aren't but this is an awesome cage for a chameleon. I ordered the uvb and heat bulbs from here in the dual bulb fixture works great.

Go to the fixture's website or find it on amazon and read the specs (it should tell you what size you need.)I only can answer questions about the bulb. Reptisun 10.0 fits my fixtures ;) and is the ONLY one I trust for good UVB for my critters. Hope this helps.

Its a reptile light and emits ultraviolet radiation intended for reptiles only!

According to eHow and several other sources I have read, there is no UV emitted by LED's. Their spectrum is very limited and neither the high frequency end (UV) nor the low frequency end (Infrared or heat) are emitted. The result is a very efficient light emitter right in the spectrum to which the eye is sensitive.
