I have used both these bulbs and didn't notice much difference in the chams themselves. I have read somewhere that "too much" UV can interfere with breeding success but I am not an expert on that at all. When I used both bulbs together I staggered the output with timers to simulate a more natural range of exposure. Started off the day with just the 5.0 and had the 10.0 come on in late morning along with my heat spot. It stayed on until about 2 pm. For the rest of the day back to the 5.0. I don't know if it mattered, as all these lights are still pretty weak in comparison to sunlight. But, remember, the cham will need the ability to get out of the more intense light if it wants to. Wild chams aren't exposed to unbroken sun all day either. I would also make sure you are gutloading well, as all the light in the universe won't make up for bad nutrition or too much dusting of the wrong stuff.
