I was woundering what the difference was between a Full Spectrum UV bulb and a Wide Spectrum bulb was? Could eather of these types of bulbs be used for bearded Dragons or is their a big difference between them?

It's basically the same thing. Don't be fooled though. Full spectrum only refers to the visible spectrum it does not mean it provides UVB! Make sure it claims to provide UVB.
You can however add any type of bulb to an existing setup after the UVB has been met. Dragons LOVE light intensity and will feel better, look better, eat better, etc.
My feeling is to first meet UVB requirements then pack as much light AS POSSIBLE without going over the temp requirements.
Give it a shot & you will be a believer.
