Is the indoor floodlight BR-30 65 watts ok to try in a 40 gallon enclosure? The bulb has writing on the center and i am thinking i saw where not to use that kind. The bulb is not clear..Its milky with a silver base..Its made by GE..It doesn't say halogen on the box..Thanks for any advise..
BR30 is OK. BR40 would be better (wider beam). The bulge reflectors stick out a lot though so they may pop out from the bottom of a dome fixture. It works better when they are suspended from above rather than sitting on a tank top. A clear bulb is probably better but if it's producing a bright white light and proper temps then it should be OK. You may just need to test it and see how it goes.
