Uv bulb for reptiles?
I think better not buy from China. Not reliable, might blind your pets.
I bought from local lfs, few dollars more only.

How to know whether it's equally effective as compared to angmoh brand?
I did some read up on uv lights (for reptiles) too and some said China ones don't actually emit real uv.

When I get it in I will compare it by fitting it to my pond up setup and see if it kills the algae. The aquazonic one I bought is made in China as well, and it works.
