Lighting and care

Hi all,
I was just wondering what type of lights do pygmy bearded dragons because I've been reading care sheets about heating and lighting but all it mentions is UV-A and UV-B but when I search for either of those it doesn't come up as what I've seen in pictures on this sight. Please help.

Thanks,

From what I read when I wanted one, you'll need a basking light which provides bright white light and heat, a CHE to provide ambient heat and also heat at night for babies, and a UV fluro tube. UV and basking light to be set on a timer for day/night cycle and CHE on thermostat.

There's a forum called "Australian Bearded Dragon Forum" which I signed up to, it's full of great info (this one is too!)

I have pygmy beardies in 4' tanks divided in 1/2 so 2x2x2 with a 2' UV flouro in the centre plus a 75w heat lamp at each end.Dividers are removable for breeding season.
Beardies DO NOT require night heat unless it drops to less than 15C

Okay thanks, by the way pics don't work.

And what are the big silver lights on top of all the enclosures you see?
