Hi, i recently bought a new 40 w ceramic heating bulb for night temps which ive used last night and currently tonight however there seems to be like a bit of a burning smell this smell however only lasts about ten mins before slowly fading is that just naturally for new bulbs or is it something bad. im using a ceramic e27 fitting so it dosnt melt.

They can get quite hot and a bit of smell is normal as long as it stops after a short while and nothing except that ceramic socket and metal dome are near it to burn/melt, especially the cage top. How is it working for your temps? I started using the heat projector bulbs from ReptileUV because they run much cooler than the CHEs.
OK that sounds pretty good. Keep an eye out for any burning but the smell shouldn't be an issue after the bulb is burnt in a bit and nothing comes in contact with it.
