Is this bulb alright?

[Shades Of Grey]

I mentioned that I was going to shop for a full spectrum bulb today. I managed to find one in the reptile section but I am not sure if its alright. The only full spectrum bulb petsmart had was by reptiglow. The sales person said I could take it back if it wasn't right. Here are the specs of the bulb:

 

color rendering index of 98 (cri)

6700K color temperature

 

Is this bulb an adequate full spectrum light or is the color temp too high?

 

Thanks

The light you need has UVB and UVA,+ fULL Spectrum.....

Repti Glo 2.0 Compact

Full Spectrum Terrarium Lamp

is the wrong bulb, no uvb/uva...

Repti Glo 5.0 Compact

Tropical Terrarium Lamp isn't a full-spectrum bulb.

I replied I was glad I got the right one, then I reread your post. I guess its not right..darn. It says full spectrum reptiglo 2.0. I may have to order the right one.

Yes, from what I cn find out it doe's supply UVA/UVB, sounds good, remember as Dan said, Keep it above and to the side, about 20 inches till it burns-in,[As ZooMed's instructions say]

 

Go for It Jayd
