So I know Ingo knows tons about Basilisk, but anyone else who has info would be appreciated.

I have 2 male Basilisk of almost 2 years now and have a 5x5x6 setup.

My question is about Metal Halides.

I was thinking of purchasing 2 for each of their basking spots.
-What type of bulb would be best, the Bulby ones or the Tubular ones?

And also, I was looking at prices, which seem pretty expensive.
-What are some decently cheap ones that would work much better than my 10.0s? (Specifics help on a website or whatever)

-How long do they last compared to the 10.0 that last 4-6months (or should be replaced by then)?

I also need to know where to get the Ballast and special fixtures for them, thanks in advance (I know it's a lot).
