I know you need uv, the scource is variable. I would get flourescent for uv and a spot or flood halogen for the nice colors , although this is strictly my opinion and subject to personal preferences. The uv from the flourescent tubes does not reach very far, like a couple of feet, but you should research this. The halogen just makes their color come out better in my opinion, and the flourescent looks close enough, when it has uv tubes, to be effective. thanx for the info on the x10.







>>So you dont think I need a mercury vapor just a halogen for basking. Its a male panther chameleon. Im using x10 home automation products, the heart of the system is the firecraker c117a unit which plugs into your serial port. then a tranceiver module picked up the on and off commands from the firecracker and in turn the lights or misting system is turned on or off. im using the Fuse software.
