Default Lamp holder

My local reptile retailer recommended a Turnock heat lamp holder for my MVB so I got one instead of using a clamp lamp. it has given me about an extra 10c from a 125w sola glo mvb which has allowed me to raise the bulb an extra 6in from the surface so it gives a lot more area of light, uvb and heat coverage.
