I am not sure if the ESU Coiled UVB light is good or not, as i haven't used it nor recall reading anything about it's effectiveness.

However, the lights should not be left on 24/7. The basking light and UVB light should be set on a time, left on for 12-14 hours to similate a regular day/night cycle. It's best to put both lights on a basic indoor/outdoor timer, so you don't have to worry about turning the lights on and off at the right times.
