What basking bulb are you using? I built my 4x2x2 out of melamine and use a 38watt par38 GE flood bulbs. I also have both my basking and 60 watt Che on dimmers to hit the proper temp. Also the GE bulb is a halogen. So yes a dimmer can be used.

I used to use a dimmer switch for my flood light when I first got my viv, but it turned out I had to dim it so much that I just switched to a lower wattage. Mine is wood too, 48x25x18, and I went with a 30w flood bulb. A dimmer is a great idea to get accurate temps, just switch wattages if the light isn't bright enough as you dim!

Excellent point. If you basking bulb is too dim. Go with lower wattage bulb to regain brightness.Smilobar":2j9npkr4 said:. A dimmer is a great idea to get accurate temps, just switch wattages if the light isn't bright enough as you dim!
With all the lighting questions i see on here i think a new stick on the subject needs to be done.
