REPTI GLO bulbs

REPTI GLO 2.0 is a UVB lamp and REPTI GLO 5.0 lamp is mainly UVA and a little amount of UVB, correct?

I always thought Repti Glo 5.0 was a UVB bulb.

This is what I found online...

EXO TERRA REPTI GLO 2.0 FLUORESCENT LAMP

- Appropriate for most reptiles, amphibians and birds - Emits UVB waves to convert Vitamin D into Vitamin D3, the active form - Powerful - Bright - Long lasting

EXO TERRA REPTI GLO 5.0 FLUORESCENT LAMP

- 30% UVA - 5% UVB - Tropical Terrarium Lamp - For reptiles with high UV requirements - Ideal for all tropical and sub-tropical reptiles - UVA (30%)stimulates appetite, activity and reproductive behavior - UVB (5%) promotes Vitamin D3 synthesis - Recommended in combination with Repti Glo 2.0

Is this correct? I'm just making sure. Which one of these will I need--I already have a basking lamp.
(This one to be exact)

For a dragon you'll want to go with a repti-glo 8.0 or a Zoo Med reptisun 5.0.

Zoo Med reptisun 5.0 is both UVA and UVB right? on one bulb

My tank is 30" width ... what length lamp should I be buying?
