How old are your plants? Just about any light will work for a very short time, then the pain sets in, and everything is a total loss. Do you know the wattage?

DONT GET RID OF THE UVB light.....use it in conjunction with your other light. UVB lighting is great for supplemental purposes.
UVB rays has been showed to increase taste, resin & trichome production

hell yes!
do the hand test.... place the back of your hand inbetween the light and your plants.....if its too hot for you...then its too damn hot for your plants.
