I have read that GE's Sunshine Full Spectrum Lighting flourescent bulb has been used for long periods successfully ie - animals show no evidence of MBD or other calcium defeciency related disorders, and less expensive. Does anyone else use these with good results? Thanks!

I doubt the that bulb actually gives of UVA or UVB. Full spectrum means Full VISIBLE spectrem so the light would be more white instead of yellow.

I have used these bulbs for several years with some of my day geckos. No problems. I use them as back ups when I can't get the reptisun bulbs or when my bulbs need replacing immediately. I had used a sunshine bulb on an iguana (a young juvenile) at school for a whole semester before I realized I had forgot that I had needed to replace it with the reptisun. I didn't notice any difference in behavior, color, health etc... I use them on frog terrariums & the iguana to this day. (although I do use reptisun on my old iguana at home!) Anyone else with experience with thes bargain bulbs?
