[QUOTE="jarich, post: 1624855, member: 76043"] Bright lights do not protect their eyes. The only thing a bright light will do is possibly reduce the diameter of the pupil, depending on placement. Just make sure that the UV light is mounted directly above the dragon, and not on the side or back of the enclosure and there is no need for any protective measures. Im not saying that you shouldnt have bright lights, they are essential for other reasons, but dont count on them as some sort of safety measure against improperly mounted UV lights. As for the UV you bought Mattrg, its fine to have it run 3/4 of the enclosure, though thats about as far as you would want it to go. Make sure its mounted all the way to the side with the basking bulb. Rivisio, yes you want one with an electronic ballast in it, but its best not to scrimp on the fixture by buying a cheap household one. It is important to get a high quality fixture and ballast otherwise you run the risk of reducing your output. A cheap ballast and fixture can reduce your UV output by up to half, so takes away any point in buying the best bulb. Stick with the zoomed fixture. If you havent bought them yet, then upgrade to the T5 bulb and fixture as these will save you money over time. The prices are about the same, but the T5 bulbs last a year, whereas the old T8 bulbs only last around 6 months. Think the T5 fixture is a few bucks more, but not much. [/QUOTE]
