Does anyone know if I can use a mini deep dome fixture for a 100watt megaray. It says it's rated for up to 100 watt type a bulb, I know megaray isn't a type a bulb but do you think it would be fine.

I find I usually run into issues when I reach the max rated wattage for the fixture. I always oversize fixture rating.
Mainly just bulbs burning out quicker.
It should be fine to run. it's a ceramic socket right?

Yes it ceramic. The deep dome one i have as seen better days and I have a mini dome that's brand new. But I can stick with the old if you think it would be better.

Yeah I agree that you want the fixture to be rated above the wattage of the bulb for best results. I like to use the dome fixtures from the farm supply store. They are cheap and heavy duty. The ones I have are rated to 300w and cost under $10.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
