[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1972826, member: 76248"] The narrow beam was another concern I had with them. I noticed a similar narrow, intense beam (of UVB) with the last MegaRay MVB I bought. My dragon avoided it. It was really out of whack like 13 UVI at 12'' right in the center and normal (3ish) next to that. It never really resolved even after a long burn-in period. Given that, I think they would just sense the intense beam and sit to the side. Normally, I'd make up for a narrow beam with a cluster of lights to make the basking zone wider, but that's not reasonable with a costly metal halide rig. Still best to rely on the tried and true T5 for a wide, even beam of UVB in an enclosure I think. I'm not familiar with Solar Raptor. I'll have to look into those. I'd really like to see more test results with the metal halide bulbs before diving in and investing to test them further. Chicken and egg thing I guess. [/QUOTE]
