[QUOTE="thelawgoddess, post: 2014826, member: 117305"] Hi. :) I am getting my daughter's beardie enclosure set up--it will be our first so we are newbies. We have been doing research and want to get the enclosure set up before we look for the dragon. The enclosure is a Symton 4x2x2. I ordered an [B]Arcadia Ceramic Reflector - 8"[/B] and an [B]Arcadia Solar Basking Flood - 150 Watt[/B]. But we want all of the lighting inside the enclosure. The Acadia 8" reflector is ridiculously huge--I don't want the lamp taking up that much space. And I'm thinking the 150w flood may be too hot for [I]inside[/I] the enclosure. So, two questions: (1) What is a good lamp or reflector to house the bulb in that has a much smaller footprint and won't look like there's a beach ball in there. LOL. And (2) Should I get a lower wattage spot bulb instead or is a flood bulb okay to use? I do understand the bulb wattage may be trial and error, but hoping some of you with experience with this size enclosure can let me know what works for you. [U]Also, I do plan to have it hooked up to a dimming thermostat if that matters for either of those questions.[/U] (For UVB, we have the [B]Zoo-Med Reptisun T5 High Output 36 Inch Terrarium Hood[/B] and will be getting the [B]Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 HO T5 UVB Lamp, 39 W, 34" L[/B] bulb.)
