Click to expand... a domestic 80W to 100W par38 incandescent floodglobe like this will work well . A 30W ? PAR38 halogen has been recommended by some , or a 80W - 100W MVB will work well too. My recommendation is to visit Ebay and buy one of these : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Philips-CLEAR-PAR38-GLOBE-80W-Screw-Fitting-Pressed-Glass-Reflector-Lamp/263554553139?hash=item3d5d135533:g wont produce UVA or UVB , but will give nice natural light and plenty of heat and , even better , it's dimmable. [/color] An 80W par38 incandescent flood-globe , or 80W MVB will work in a 18" tall tank. Arcadia have nice 80W MVBs that will work a treat in that tank . http://www.arcadia-aust.com.au/80w-d3-uv-basking-lamp Other good 80W to 100W MVBs are https://www.amazingamazon.com.au/exo-terra-solar-glo-80-watt-mercury-vapour.html https://www.amazingamazon.com.au/mega-ray-mercury-vapour.html https://www.amazingamazon.com.au/zoo-med-power-sun.html

S Scion19801 Hatchling Member Oct 22, 2018 #3 Ge 38watt par 38 flood bulb on a dimmer is perfect in my 4x2x2 melamine tank. I tried the 80 watt ones and they were way to hot.
