Reptech HID UV lamp 50watt
The Reptech HID UV lamp is based on the High Intensity Discharge technology with optimum UV radiation. Ideal lighting for amphibians, reptiles and birds. Pure daylight (5000K) has a full light spectrum with an essential ratio of UV radiation (UVA / UVB) that guarantees appetite, activity, colors, calcium absorption by making vitamin D3. Due to the lamp there is a considerable increase in the breeding success.

The Reptech HID UV lamp ensures high UV stability with optimum quality compared to other lighting such as fluorescent lamps and UV energy-saving lamps.

I believe this is Dutch lighting -- someone had this in their tank and had to change it out as it was too strong I believe he said - he went to the Reptisun lighting

Can't find any info at all on it as far as spectral analysis goes, or strength of UV output.
All red flags IMO.

The manufacturer doesn't even offer a recommended distance.

I had never heard of it but the guy got rid of it and went to the Reptisun bulb--- looks like the bulbs failed from what the guy told me---

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
