The thing about bulbs and wattage is, you use what achieves the desired results in your situation. There is no set wattage or type.

Of course there are guidelines, Small cage, low wattage, large cage, either higher wattage or multiple bulbs of lower wattage.

I don't remember what we talked about, but halogen bulbs have to be used carefully as the newer ones burn monitors very quickly. Incandesents rarely ever burn. Again, merely guidelines.

The goal is to achieve a range of temps and lite intensity. Cheers
