I think I'd like to use a mercury vapor bulb as "plug space" is becoming a premium. I am working on setting up the tank now. I am hoping to purchase a beardie this spring or early next summer. Trying to work out all the kinks prior to bringing the little guy home.
Would this one be okay?

And would this fixture be okay?

If I go with the mercury vapor bulb, how long will it last before needing replacement? And will I need any supplemental heat during the night, if room temps don't drop below 70?
