Hi, I read with interest what you have posted, and must say your post really opened my eyes to having turtles as a pet. One quick question, is the UVB lamp electrical consumption high, as compared to a normal bulb? Thanks.

Hi Irene, typically a UVB bulb would be 13W/25W/50W. The wattage also indicates the heat emitted by the bulbs. It is higher than normal bulbs as normal bulbs tend to be more energy saving and less heat emission.
