I actually have a rankins/Lawsons, but lighting requirements are very similar...
I have a Reptisun 10.0 with a basking light (mini-size incandescent) next to it. I have noticed him looking at the uvb quite a bit lately, and my basking bulb is not very bright when dimmed to give proper temps.
SO - An LED is the only way I can add light without also adding heat :? I just finished mounting an LED 4.5w (40watt equivalent) next to the basking light and uvb tube. It's 2700k so it gives off more of a warm color, fwiw.
It seems really bright, but i guess a 40watt equivalent would be too too bright :?:
Would greatly appreciate some input before I start using it
