How long is this light good for before needing to be replaced? i know some uva/uvb lights only are effective for a certain number of hours.

Most need to be changed every 6 mos. Arcadia brand bulbs recommend replacing every 12 months. Check their website.

what is the nm wavelength range?

Don’t buy the bulb from Amazon, no one packages it right and it will just arrive broken

Will it fit a 14” hood??

Yes. All the hoods for these bulbs are about 2 inches bigger..

how many times it must be change? soes it last more then 6 months?

From all that I have read, UVB output is not adequate after 6 months. I change my Zoomed bulbs every 6 months. I believe the Arcadia brand bulbs last longer (1 year). Check out their website.
