I've just finished putting together my 5ft double stack. And whilst it still needs some work, I'm now looking at the heating/lighting side of things.

I've decided to go with heat mats, on a shared stat. However, I'm not sure how to go about the lighting. I normally go with a simple bulb/guard, but this time I'd like to go for something different, because I think that a single bulb at one end will effect the heat too much, and not put out enough light in the viv to get a real "day time" effect.

Can someone direct me towards some (easy to fit!!!) low heat lighting?

I have a uvb strip light with starter unit, which I used when I had an iggy, but its now sitting around doing nothing, if you don't mind waiting a week or so until I have some spare cash I can stick it in the post to you. I'd rather someone used it than it gathered more dust!

Well, the thing is, I'll need a double starter unit, so I can run both halfs of the stack off a single unit.

I was looking at the exo-terra ones.
But thank you for the kind offer.
