What is the difference between a 10.0 UVB bulb and a 5.0 UVB bulb?

Generically speaking, its the amount of UVB intensity emitted from the lamp. 10% vs 5%.

Here is an excellent resource that thoroughly discusses this topic if you would like to dive into this further.

Howdy Nic,

Here's another article about UVB. About 5-6 paragraphs down, under the heading: "Linear Fluorescent Tubes" is where the "percentage" spec is discussed. http://www.chameleonnews.com/10JulWeldon.html
