Hello, I am wanting to upgrade my UVB lighting, and my vet recommended the SolarGlo 125W. I spoke to someone else, however and they said that these bulbs give off a lot of heat, meaning I may have an overly warm basking area. I am aware that UVB/lighting and wattages depend on each individuals tank, and what works for them. I have a wooden vivarium with glass front sliding doors, so unfortunately I do not have the option of hanging the lamp higher/lower towards the basking area. I know they have to be within 8" of these, and I am wondering whether I should bother to buy one?
My tank only has the option for inside light fixtures, which works for now but I am wanting to change to SolarGlo. The tank is around 18" high with the light fixture around 3" from the top meaning the bulb would probably be 6-7" into the tank from the original height. Does anyone have any experience on this? Also is it a screw fitting bulb or a click one?
Thankyou
