hi;
i use full spectrum flouresents that i found at home depot. here's the ratings:
light output 2200 lumens
color rendering 92
color temperature 5000k
48" 40 watt "natural color" made by philips. i use 1 double shop light
fixture on my 48"x24"x18" cages. i think i payed about $7.00 for the fixture and about $6.50per bulb that's a lot less than
a mecury vapor bulb which i've tryed but
had little luck with(only lasted about 2
months before burning out). plus i also use miner-all(I) and vit-all(1 feeding a week). This works great for me. I would
talk to some of the big uromastyx breeders
and see what they use or check out their
care sheets. i don't want to risk the health of my animals and $20.00 for the
fixture and bulbs isn't alot of money.
i also use incandesent spot lamps for heat
as well. if you find something that works for you stick with it. this is just my opinion and what works for me. have a good one.
