I have been digging through the site and Google for a while now and I feel like I'm getting deeper and deeper into my confusion. I plan on ordering a zoomed 100 w mvb today.. could someone please give me a SPECIFIC lamp to buy? There's so many options and I'm getting so lost =(

Do not buy any MVB bulbs.
Use a T5 UVB florescent.
And something else for heat like a CHE.
A MVB is too harsh. Doesn't give out consistant UVB, (Too much or too little in a tiny area) costs a lot and burns out quickly.
There are actually no good reasons to buy one.
They " do everything" (All in 1) . But do none of it very well.
A nice T5 HO UVB lamp is about $50.
