It's been over 10 years before I really looked hard at lighting. Wallmart used to carry a full spectrum bulb from GE that I've used for about 5 years. I swung by wallmart this weekend, and they didn't have any. I've found several bulbs with CRI over 90. But what is it they guys really need? There are lots of companies selling bulbs that are " full spectrum ". It's just a pain to find a pet store, and then pay $40 for a bulb. What does everyone else do?

You need to get a uvb bulb that emits at least 8% uvb. A full spectrum light is ok in addition to this, but a bulb that is "full spectrum" does not emit in the uvb wavelength. It doesn't matter what CRI or degree Kelvin it has...this is more for plants and our quality of viewing things.
