Id say either the reptisun 10.0 bc it has a long range. or the t-rex uvb bulb / heat bulb. but those are expensive and dont last to long

I think I read somewhere that the uv 10 bulb was too strong for frilled lizards.
Have you heard about that?

I use the zoo med 10.0 and mine is doing great. No problems at all. If you're using a cage with a screen top you have to go 10.0 no question. Mine is in a wood cage that's 3ft tall and the bulb is mounted on the top. Like I said, the lizard is the picture of perfect health.

well from experience id say the t-rex uvb bulb/heat lamp worked best for my frilled dragon. hes in the largest exo-terra tank with a screen top. however like i said with that is that they dont last to long. and can short out very easily and cost like 50 bucks to replace every time.
after that died i tried swtiching to a coil uvb bulb for temp usage. lets just say my guy wasnt recieving his normal dosage of uvb. and i quickly scrapped that one.
last i went with the reptisun 10.0 and he is flourishing fine. no problems or defects and he hasnt had any problems so far. and my guys been through a lot. hes been thru a prolapse, and topic skin infection. but hes 100% now
