[QUOTE="jarich, post: 1633482, member: 76043"] First, I would recommend not buying the cheap Walmart fixtures. Those are meant for bulbs that merely produce visible light, and not meant to give the bulbs the output needed for good UVB exposure. They are nice in that it doesnt cost as much, but it limits the output of the bulb. Essentially there is no point in spending the extra on the Zoomed or Arcadia brand bulb (they are pretty much the same Polarthief) if you limit the output with the fixture. It really is worth it to spend the extra money and get the appropriate fixture from Zoomed or Arcadia. As for your question PMPerformance, a dimming thermostat is a great idea. That way you can set the temperature and the light will never go above that. However, for your situation as it is, I would recommend getting a 60 watt halogen light instead. That should drop your temperature to around 105 F or so. For basking lamps, since you arent going for a specific wavelength of light, there is no need to use the reptile specific lamps. You can just buy the PAR 38 outdoor flood lights from your hardware store and get the light and heat you need. [/QUOTE]
