Hi,
Here is some advice. ( i used to work for a major internet reptile supply company (name witheld)
The best UVB output on any bulbs is by ZooMed, Powersuns and Repti-Suns 10.0. When I used to test them at the warehouse I found the ZooMed Repti-suns to give off the highest UVB which was comprebale to a lightly sunny day. That being said, in my opinion there is no use buying 5.0s. They pimp them as the output that will reach the animal but a 10.0 is best for any animal (just my advice)and will last a bit longer and be more natural. A word of advice, be careful with "private label products". Sometimes they come from china, and are horrible, so stick with ZooMed or another company when purchasing. Make sure yr equiptment is UL listed and safe. (and I have had a few Zoomed quality dilemmas with foods, butas far as electrical is concerned I trust them most)
The powersuns provide UVB and heat and a basking spot all in one, which is good, if the doenst animal climb on it. Then, it is bad. They are great for basking areas and large enclosures. (especially large tortoises)
The night light is a waste. Iguanas are diurnal, sleepy monsters. Invest in a ceramic heater, possibly a few.
