Both myself and my boyfriend use the 26-watt Exo Terra Repti-Glo UVB bulbs. Because the UVB light should be positioned over the basking area, I don't think the size of the tank is relevant when it comes to wattage (if I'm incorrect, someone please feel free to correct me).
Make sure your turtles also have a heat bulb! I use a 100 watt Exo Terra Basking Bulb for my little guy. It's splash resistant, which is important with aquatic turtles, so you aren't replacing bulbs every time one gets wet.
Both types of bulbs need replaced approximately every 6 months, because they start losing their efficacy.
Hi,
So I read your previous thread briefly. I get my lighting fixtures from Lowe's or Home Depot; I do have a Fluker's Repta-Clamp Ceramic Lamp With Dimmable Switch as well, but that is for my tortoise and so far it works well. But for my water turtles I typically just use the ones you can find at Lowes or Home Depot; they haven't failed me so far.
As for the lightbulbs, I went through lights similar to you like crazy. Then I switched over to this 100W Exo Terra bulb, and it works like a breeze! The other bulbs I tried by Exo Terra didn't seem to work as well for me; so I tend to stay away from the other variations for my other reptiles and go with different brands. But for my water turtles this bulb seems good.
