I heard bad things about the ZooMed's when they first came out. There was even a warning on ZooMed's site. I'd assume they've fixed the problem by now (maybe a year?). But I'd recommend the longest tube bulb you can use with your enclosure since the Tegu won't always stay in the small area a compact bulb would provide. Just be sure he can get at least 12" or closer to it, especially if you have a fine mesh screen top, that blocks possibly 50% of the UV rays.
