Good day!
I purchased a custom tortoise table second hand, and it has a light fixture mounted to it that allows for three halogen flood bulbs to be placed inside it. The person that sold it to me linked me to these bulbs, saying that is all they ever used in the fixture, as it provided basking heat, UVA, and UVB, and thus met all the tortoise's needs.

However, there are a couple issues. The socket type of the fixture requires a gu10 bulb. This seller only seems to have regular threaded socket bulbs. And I have scoured the internet for an all in one, halogen, gu10 bulb. I cannot find any.
I am either not looking in the right place, or I was duped as far as the lighting fixture that is already mounted to the table is suitable for an all in one light. I can just get a clamp fixture and rig up a UVB bulb to the side of the table, but if I can get all my Russian needs from one light fixture, it would be nice. I can provide photos of the light bar if it helps.
Is there even such a thing as a full spectrum heat, UVA, and UVB halogen flood light? Or have I been looking for a Macguffin?
Thank
