Trex are brilliant. I have 6 of them not one has blown with high UVB output.

I allways buy powersun and have no problems with them. I think you will find both bulbs are good.

Bump!

I use both with equal good effect. If using for a small area buy a spot rather than a flood and 100 watt will be ample, 160 creating too m uch heat for one small tortoise

Have a look at the new lucky reptile Metal halide bulbs, They are all in ones. Set up cost is expensive because you need to purchase a Ceramic lamp holder, reflector and ballast unit but then year on year you only need to purchase a replacement bulb at £35. The UVB output is claimed to be higher than any other lamp on the market aswell.

Lucky Reptile

I have been playing about with them the past month and they seem to be good, cant comment on lifespan / quality over time though as they are a brand new product.

Gotta agree with Pink here, this is a new light on the market that appears to be far superior to what is on the market at the moment. I have also being doing trails for the last few weeks with great results. Lets hope long term they are as good as they seem to be. Also, cost wise, watch out for a cheaper ballast unit for this light coming out in the next few months - making them, cost wise somewhere like in line with the equivalant T-rex or Zoo Med product.

im a bit confused. what bulb are you talking about and what and where can i buy the lamp holder etc..

Yes thats right the basic ballast is due to be released soon and its half the price of the electronic controller...

This is the basic controller (not released yet)
Lucky Reptile Bright Control 50W, BCE-50

Here is the electronic version (its smaller, has safety features and I supposed to be cheaper to run?)
Lucky Reptile Bright Control PRO 70W, BCP-70

Heres all the bulbs..
Metal Halide

It will only work with one of these sockets (there is basically a special connecter on the ballast that will only connect to these sockets)
Lucky Reptile ThermoSocket + Ref.PRO, Lge, HTRP-2UK

Although if you can find the right connector (Maplins??) you might be able to convert an existing lampholder although not recommended.

The instructions on the box say do not look into the light, (well you cant help it can you) if you do you definately get staring into the sun syndrome and your eyes may sting a bit (PLease note I do not recommend looking dircetly at one of these bulbs) so a reflector is a must.
