>>Hello, I'm new here but not entirely to reptiles. I was wondering if using a "plant and aquarium bulb" bought at my local Lowes was okay to use rather than a reptiglo bulb is the UV output different or will i be okay using the non name brand?

The best thing you can do is pick up a UV meter and check the levels yourself.
