It's worth noting that UVB lighting is ntended only for reptiles that spend a considerable amount of time in the open sunlight like a basking turtle or a abearded dragon or even an anole. If a Pacman frog got up on a log and soaked in the afternoon rays in full sunlight, it would shrivel up and die. So no, UVB lighting is not a neccesity with Horned Frogs and it may even make them sick. Especially an albino. That's you don't really see any albino Bearded Dragons in the pet trade.
I will say this though, All Pacs except Albinos do benefit from 4 to 6 hours of UVB light per day to assist in the production of Vitamin D3, but is entirely unnecessary. Albinos can be burned and actually go blind from Fullspectrum light and UVB radiation.
