    Depends on the disctance between lamp and frog, power of the lamp and lamp type.
    For a UVB100 26W (Formerly UVB 5.0 Repti Glo), UVB rating is "2 stars" if the lamp is above the animal at 40cm :

    As for pacman frog, UVB rating is "No star", and if your lamps (2x13W=26W) are at 40cm above the frog, this si maybe too much UVB's (And sure, too much visible light for a pet living below the canopy in South America...)

    I should not exceed "one star" for pacman frogs, it means 1 lamp 13W UVB100 (5.0) at 40cm minimum from the frog.
