vivarium lighting help

I know for plant growth the spectrum is 4500k - 6500k. I don't know much about Red Eyed Tree Frogs so I'll let one of the far more knowledgeable posters add to that.

I'm not to sure what spectrum is haha, but thanks for the info, I will wait to see if any more knowledgeable posters posts and hopefully I can go get the right bulbs tomorrow.

Edit: Could I use this bulb? Exo Terra : Reptile UVB100 / Tropical Terrarium Bulb It says it that it "emits optimal levels of UVB, similar to that of shady environments such as rain forests or other tropical locations"

I was thinking maybey 1 26 watt one of those and one of these Exo Terra : Natural Light / Full Spectrum Daylight Bulb ?

Not to sure. opinions?

I'm using the same top, actually two of those tops. In each housing I have 1 UVB100 in addition to 1 Reptile Vision bulb, both from Exo-terra. I really like the lighting colors, very natural. I've had them on the new tank for 3 days now and my plants have all responded very well from them. I'd think the natural light would work just as well though, it puts out a very similar spectrum from what I see, a bit more greens.
