Since it says, "Tropical", it probably isn't a real strong UVB, but it is certainly ok to use it anyway. Just don't mount it too high. Be sure to follow the directions on the box.

Wjhat the ?.
Tropical ?
Desert ?
A good UVB bulb puts out good UVB rays for it's natural life.
If it puts out the correct UVb , it's fine.
Use a meter .
