Default Full spectrum lighting

Hi

This may-be a stupid question but - does a full spectrum light bulb offer UV-B (as my repti-glow does) or is it not the same?

I recently bought a uv-b reptiglow bulb (screwfit) anstead of a tube, once I had it I wanted to see if I could source the same type of bulb from anothwer manufacturer, I can find plenty of full spectrum low energy bulbs that say they promote growth and well being but does that mean they offer UV-B

Any info would be great

Cheers

Chris

The short answer is no, it provides more of a natural daylight light but no uvb
