I have a 100 watt PowerSun UV light and i was wondering how long each day does it need to stay on.

I keep mine on 14 hours a day for younger dragons. Anywhere from 12-14 hours of light daily is good though. The longer the better, but they need a night time as well. 14 on 10 off has worked very well now for a while for my guys. As they get to be adults you want to simulate the outside a little bit more so they go into brumation naturally, most dragons under 1 year old do not bumate significantly, but it has happened before.
