UV Light Starter kit

[j-dot-l@hotmail.com]

could anyone show me where is the best/cheapest place to get one?

I've seen Arcadia ones, but they are kind of expensive?

Would it be possible to use starter kits [with light holders] from place like wilkinsons ect? ones that you sometimes see in cupboards?



Thanks

www.livefoods.co.uk are good. I get mine from there, not a bad price either i have found. Cheeper than one of my local rep shops!

So, can anybody tell me if i am able to use this and JUST change the tube into a Reptile UV one?



Thanks

I have been looking at using these in my viv's and as far as i can tell they will as long as the starter is the right one

[j-dot-l@hotmail.com]

how do i know if the starter is the right one???

to be honest if it lights the bulb then i'd say it's fine. You just need to make sure that the starter and bulb are the same wattage which shouldn't be hard as its a 4ft housing and a 4ft bulb rather than the usual starters that are just a connector on the end of a cable.

You could try these where the starter is part of the bulb so you only need a standard es light fitting.

Problem with the compacts is they don't cover a large space. Great in a small viv like an exo terra but a bit pants in a 4ft'er
