Are there reptile uvb bulbs for e27 standard sockets?yes BUT you keep talking about household CFLs as if they actually contribute anything in the UVB range

See that's what I thought.Ignore purplebudz.
cfls and floros put out plenty of UVB. He doesn't know wtf he's talking about.
thats not a regular cflhttp://m.ebay.com/itm/ZOO-MED-13-Watt-Reptisun-10-0-UVB-Fluorescent-Desert-Reptile-Terrarium-Bulb-j453-/172058076418?nav=SEARCH
Found a nice zoo med one. How many would you think I'd need for a 3x4?
not all cfl floros are the same pay attention and read befor calling out membersIgnore purplebudz.

purplebudz claims ALL cfls and floros put out next to zero UVB and are essentially pointless to run.not all cfl floros are the same pay attention and read befor calling out members

I will call him out for something so blatantly wrong and ignorant.
standard T5HO cool whites (6500K) provide diddly squat for UVB.
dumb myths
dude .....,
if you want UVB just use reptile bulbs even standard household CFLs have hardly any UVB.
did you not look at the SPDs that were posted earlier ?
yes BUT you keep talking about household CFLs as if they actually contribute anything in the UVB range
I know it isnt. Quit being so rude.thats not a regular cfl
learn to read whats going on

this exchange is wrong and i felt it deserved clarification. quit whiningSee that's what I thought.
I know it isnt. Quit being so rude.
Some is better than NONE. And I use Spiral CFLs because apparently they give you more. But a reptile bulb from the pet store is your beSt bet for UVB
bullsht, here are a whole bunch of SPDs for CFLs, http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/led/spectra7.htmIgnore purplebudz.

are you high? seriously........Your eyeballs are terrible detectors, they lie! Nothing like inconclusive data to make a concrete point......Just go look at RM3's journal.
See the evidence with your own eyes.
I can see an obviously visual difference when supplementing with cfls/floros.
Also keep in mind when using supplemental lighting like that, you're boosting your wattage per sqft, and (depending on your main light source positioning), you're getting a more even spread especially on the outer edges of the grow (if you're in a tent).
Needless to say, it's all usable light and will help in bud size and density as well.
IronyI know it isnt. Quit being so rude.
I don't ....but maybe I missed the SPD: How to Read Classbullsht, here are a whole bunch of SPDs for CFLs, http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/led/spectra7.htm
now tell me where do you see a significant amount of UVB in a typical household cfl ?
For example .... 14w 6500k lights of America

WOW, these aren't ridiculous considering you don't need much. The specs are just beyond me, but if I'm running 33W/sqft then I'd consider running something like .3-1W/sqft of this, maybe the 320nm range?Wonder when UVB chips will come down in price...incredibly expensive
