I just made a UVB hood out of cardboard and aluminum foil. I would like to have it in between the bulb and the fixture, but I'm not sure that won't make it explode or something.
1. If aluminum foil were touching the copper edges (at either end) of the reptisun bulb, will that do anything bad?
2. If the aluminum foil is touching the bulb itself, will that cause a problem?
I currently have the hood on the outside of the fixture, but I think I'd gain a lot more light doing it the other way. I don't know anything about electricity except to always be super careful since I don't know anything about it.
Thanks!
