I don't know any technical info or specifics, but most basking reptiles need appropriate *quality* of light as well as brightness. Bright household bulbs won't cut it if they're bright, but ugly light. A full spectrum fluorescent (like a Sylvania Sunstick) that matches sunlight fairly closely will help your uro's emotional well-being.
I joined a group for UVB meter owners (even before I owned one), and it taught me TONS about lighting, both UVB and otherwise - still learning every single day.
