Which Light would be best?
Im in the middle of setting up a Tortoise table.. and Im getting really confused as to which light to get..
I saw another thread about this but cant find it now.. A Combined UV & Heat or 2 seperate lights?.. The enclosure is about 6' X 4'... Just want to get things perfect... Kelly x

a combined uvb lamp is better by a million times! they produce ALOT more uvb and animals show an increase in feeding, activity and breeding. they really are the revolutionary pet product of the decade. I have lizards and torts that i use them all for and i would never go back to a tube. While the UVB combi is more expensive to set up, it lasts for 2 years, so actually works out cheaper in the longrun.
for a 6x4 table you should go for a 160w to get a good heat projection. Some people say they dont like to use them indoors but i have 4 of them indoors and have zero problems. An exo terra medium clamp lamp is a good holder and reflector for the 160w lamps.

Thanks Ali..
Sorry to be a pain.. but where is the best place on net?.. Ive seen some bulbs on ebay.. Exo Terra Solar Glo Sun Stimulating Vivarium Lamp 160w on eBay, also, Reptiles, Pet Supplies, Home Garden (end time 28-Aug-08 21:57:48 BST) Would this one be good ? Have seen the clamp reflector thing!.. So i just want to make sure the bulb i buy will be the right one!

The best place for the best lights has to be:
</title> <meta content="Evrsoft First Page" name="GENERATOR"> </head> <body> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999 Megaray bulbs are proving to be the best lights on the market for tortoises, keepers are seeing the difference in their tortoises when changing from inferior bulbs to the megaray - increases in activity and appetite. Darren is a respected tortoise keeper and will give you great advise too. HTH Tamie

I got my lighting from Darren, he is really helpful. If you have any difficulties you can give him a ring he is really kind. The best by far!

hi i have combi lamp's from Darren and i agree he is really approachable and helpful last year i changed my whole set up over to powersun and was very impressed with the increase in activity particularly over winter and this year i got a megaray for my leopard hatchlings and cant believe the activity levels they are my lamp of choice in future.
