Ok, so I too followed everyone's advice on here and imported an expensive MVB bulb from California (I'm in Canada!!). I also bought a deep dome fixture for it, it's black with a ceramic base, with the standard long black cord and easy on/off switch.
So far I'm very happy with the results, my beardie's colour looks gorgeous and cirus-y for the first time months.. his appetite and energy seem a *bit* better, but it's not a crazy difference or anything.
My one concern is this - I have the cord plugged into an extension cord which is plugged into the wall. Every time I touch the black cord, even super gently, the light shorts out and I can't turn it on again for ten minutes... !!!! .... I can touch the on/off switch just fine, but just barely a touch on the lower part of the cord and the light goes out... I'm worried that my cats will brush past it during the day and the light'll be out all day while I'm at work!!!! Is this a defect? Has anyone else had this problem? COuld it be because I have it plugged into an extension cord and not directly into the wall?
Any help would be appreciated. Thx.
