Hi Jurjen, out of curiosity, is the Reptisun a long fluorescent like this one:

or a compact bulb like this one:http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...med-mini-compact-fluorescent-50-bulb-13-watt/ ?

I use the long Reptisun 5.0 bulbs and do notice that my chams bask like they do outdoors--flattening laterally and angling towards the bulb.
I've never used any other UVB bulbs, so I can't compare behaviors.

Thanks for sharing your observations.
