[QUOTE="magicmagni, post: 2039494, member: 72652"] Don't meant to overload you with info.. but if it helps here are some diagrams I drew up with 3 lighting designs I have used based on the budget of the person I was working with.. This is the "cheapest and simplest" Call it "Stage 1" You have your T5 UVB bulb and basking lamp on one side in a dome. Put the dome flat on the screen and then the T5 UVB Lamp next to it. Find a way to prop up one side to angle the UVB to the center of the basking bulb. You want the two lights to combine at the basking spot. [ATTACH type="full"]86814[/ATTACH] Upgrading to Stage 2 If budget allows.. Get yourself a dual dome fixture OR you can use two separate domes.. just like above but now you are adding an LED spot... Since the UVB bulbs are really not that bright adding this LED really brightens up the basking spot. This stimulates your dragon to bask more readily. It also fills in some of the missing spectrum of sunlight that is missing from the other bulbs.. Think of how you feel going outside on an overcast day verses a bright sunny day.. Isn't the bright sunny day better? You feel more alive and awake? More light is better for your Dragon! What's great is that these LED bulbs are super cheap! [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BRKG7X1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1[/URL] [ATTACH type="full"]86815[/ATTACH] I call this "Stage 3" I am runnng this setup on my "Project Dragon Lair" if you care to follow. This really ups the light levels.. Great if you care to do bioactive.. grow some plants etc.. or you just like an evenly lit enclosure... This is going to get the light levels up quite high ,but not even close to harmfull.. As always provide a hide on the cool and warm side so they can choose to get away from heat/ light if they choose. [ATTACH type="full"]86817[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
