If you have a powersun (mercury vapor UV bulb) do you need any other bulbs? Any other uvb bulbs or any thing like that?
Thanks in advance

Well not really but you have to make sure that it is providing enough light and heat for both sides of the enclosure. The lighting of a beardies enclosure is just as important as the temperature. If the dragons enclosure is not bright enough then the dragon will not thrive as well as if it was in a enclosure with bright light. For this reason I also use a flourescent light fixture that runs the length of the enclosure. The MVB bulb puts off a bluish light and personally I like to have some bright lights also.

I have a Powersun alone in my 40 gallon breeder (my smaller cage), and I love it. Personally, I see great improvement in color, feeding and overall health in my dragon with this light. I don't use another light, but with a larger cage, you will probably have to, just to keep the cage bright.
