That's exactly my point... the wiring might not be able to hold the load which is why you get a surge. It might not necessarily be a fault... it could be a few heaters, lamps, incubators, heatmats... filters... lighting... that might be overloading the circuit... I guess it could be faulty wiring also.

The main point is these bulbs are sensitive to current surge and the sumptom is the bulb going off and on.

and even though i choose to use a weed diet i have never questioned what you choose to use for your torts, i value the experience and results you have achieved so take a breath, we dont all think you are the antichrist!
