Is this a good UVB bulb?

I am using ESU Reptile 7% Desert UVB right now, and will change it to something better otherwise I will buy another since it has been around 6 months.

Exo Terra makes an 8% UVB bulb called Repti-Glo. Though honestly, I'm sure that the 7% one is just fine, too. When I kept collareds years ago there was nothing higher than 5%, and all mine did fine.

And I should replace every 6 months no?

I agree with Elan, but you must make sure your lizards are within 12 inches of the light. If not, reptisun 10.0 bulbs are supposed to penetrate 20 inches.
