I would have agreed with you if you were talking about monitors and a few other lizards. But for iguana, the UVB bulb is a must. There was a study done that suggest iguana cannot use the vitamin D3 through ingestion. They need it. Pluse iguana with metabolic bone disease showed signed of improvement with exposure to sunlight and UVB lighting. Kids with osteoperosis, when exposed to UVB light, showed a remarkable improvement in one study, only one of their arm was exposed to UVB light.
