Is there such a light bulb out there? My friend wants to know because she only only has one lamp to put her light in.

Yes it's called MVB bulb.....Make sure she buys a proper one for reptiles and that she buys a ceramic socket light fixture with a 10" dome

Her tank should also be fairly large---a really small (like 10-gallon) tank will trap a lot of heat in the tank.
