Alright, I have heard so many opinions when it comes to different types of UV lighting. Some people say the mercury vapor bulbs are the way to go while others go with the separate UVB and Basking lights, and some people (at least this is the case with some Uromastyx owners, but I'm sure there...

Hey guys, I've been looking at MVB bulbs recently in preparation for the arrival of my newest family member, a Blue tongue! They seem pretty rad, considering it's a 3 in 1 combo bulb, but I read an article that said that reptile MVBs only last 6 months? Is this true? I would gladly pay the £50...

Hey chaps, looking into an MVB for my beardies to come on around mid-day for a huge blast hot zone, is there a brand (such a thing as a 60w mvb? the only ones I can find are higher wattages lowest is about 80w and in their viv, it would sure as heck kill them giving the temps they can reach. I...

Just doing some final research and see that a mercury lamp can be used to provide high levels of UV, lux and heat. From what I have read you have to get it set up correctly in one spot after experimenting to get correct temps etc and then it is simply switched on in the morning and then off at...

Hello There, I currently have spare MVB bulbs and was wondering if there was any harm using them with my Royals, they will be guarded. I was wondering if there would be any ill-effects before I used them - I use them for my CWD and I have spares. Was thinking instead of a heat mat to keep...

Hi Everyone, Finally got my turtle set up in my tank today :D. I have got an MVB bulb and was wondering how long i should keep it on for? The tank is in my bedroom so I can't really keep it on all night as the chances are I wont be able to sleep. Its a baby Musk Turtle btw, forgot to add...

Hey, Can these be used together? or is that just way too much UVB? I suspect it's either or right? I already have an arcadia ac30 model starter, can anyone tell me which UVB strips this compat with? and which is the best choice for basking bulb for a uro/chuckwalla setup? thanks

I do not have a solar meter. I do use both MVBs and 10.0 UV tubes in two of my vivs. I was just watching videos on youtube and heard that you can use too much UV. To be honest this is the first I have heard of this. Should I not use both? Thanks for any help in advance :notworthy:

Hi all, another question I've been thinking about recently and playing devils advocate why is it ok to use a Mercury Vapour Bulb unstated but all other heat sources need to have a stat. All my heat sources other than my MVBs are stated. Plenty of people out there use MVBs and they are...
