[QUOTE="TheBeard9789, post: 1997089, member: 109632"] Normally I use 100W bulb for both my enclosures (flukers) but could I use any bulb? For instance instead of a 100w basking bulb could I use a lower watt bulb that is a house bulb? We are having a heat wave so I have had to downgrade lights and to get low watt basking bulbs they are normally colored bulbs (blue/purple/black). I'm asking because for me I can buy a bunch of 30W-75W bulbs by the box and it doesn't hurt my wallet. These are soft white bulbs not specifically made for basking but honestly they will be used for mostly light not heat since it's so hot here Better to get a 90-100 degree basking temp rather than using a proper basking bulb and get 110-120+ in the tank (I tested it with my beardies outside the tank) I'm using a 40W house bulb and my Chubbs basking spot is a cool 93 not 105+ that I get with a 100W basking bulb [/QUOTE]
