Was thinking of getting this lamp below after researching it a bit, seems good, anyone else have these? They do 2 jobs in the 1. Any experiences ect with them, would be appreciated, thanks.
I take it its been covered with the lack of replies?...lol
I might just get this in the future, seems that it might save money, i just wondered other folks experiences with it?
A lot of people do use the MVB and I think the brand you are looking at is good. It is my understanding that if you use a MVB you only need to dust your feeders with calcium powder instead of calcium d3 powder. Might want to double check me on that.
I'm just old school and use the Reptisun 10.0 or 10.0 HO (high output). The seasonal temps here cause me to have to change basking bulb watts (anywhere from 50 watts to 75 watts) and the lowest watt MVB I've found is 100 watts and I didn't want to add an adjustable light stand to get the right basking temperature and end up moving the MVB too far away to do any good.
The PowerSun bulbs are decent. They have a wide beam relative to other MVBs which is good. The 100w has an optimal output at around 8-10 inches (3-5 UVI) and a beam of optimal output that is about 12'' wide. I prefer to have a wider area (at least the length of the dragon) for easier basking so I use the longer T5 tubes. The 160w is better at further distance with an optimal output at around 10-12''.
