Thats what we ended up doing for the time between ordering, thankfully it worked okay

They seem to not carry the 540 lumen bulb that I had in the PAR38 90W anymore :( I looked online and in store--I think maybe the only one that had them was amazon but yeah, I didnt want to get them there since it'd be forever lol I got a higher lumen bulb out of desperation but its definitely...

Hi guys, I've run into a perdicament. I realized I only had one bulb and the rest dont work. I had a Par 38 flood light equivalent to 90w i believe 500 lumens or so? Im in US, eastern coast.

Ok! Thanks again Cooper. :)

Hey guys! So, finally I got almost everything set up the way I'd like it. I wanted to ask though, if this would be a good place to have the light mounted, and is the light appropriate distance from him? The tree hes sitting on I may get rid of an replace with a cinderblock basking area that...

Ok! Ill hold it up on a lightstand if necessary. :) Thank you as well for the input Brandon!

Awesome, thank you for the suggestions as always Karrie/Cooper!

Awesome! I think for now I'll go with the Reptisun, but I may try the Arcadia in the future; Ive heard a lot of great things about them. :) I also seem to be having trouble finding the basking bulbs (the sylvanias) anywhere; I looked in store and online, it seems they only have 80w or below...

Ok! Sounds good :)

Ok! I'm considering a 100w flood light for basking area/hot area (might get a spot light as extra in case I want to try something different) and a floodlight lower than 75w for the cool side. Did you have recommendations for the UVB bulb for the ZooMed fixture? Ill probably just get them...
