Oh dear -- don't know what i've done, but I replied to your post, posted my reply, and I seem to have deleted your post! So I've cut and pasted your post underneath the one i just wrote, below. Not sure how that all happened, but many apologies:
Hi Bex,
Ooh, nasty. Was it a heat/light/UVB combined mercury vapour bulb or a fluorescent strip light? If a strip light then use the T5 12% one. I have a 4' one that runs the length of the table (well, the table is 7' but part of that is sleeping area), so they get the rays almost anywhere they are.
If it is a fluorescent strip light, do check that your starter unit will accommodate anything slightly different from what you had, as I changed bulbs once and had to get a new starter unit as well.

Hi guys,
Speedys UVB light has stopped working and need to get a replacement but it shattered when I removed it and I dunno wat strength it was!! All glass safe, was outside so no worries with her feet etc...
I usually keep the boxes but can’t find it, probably got thrown in the move!
Do I get a desert 10% 15W?
Thanks x
