Are mercury vapors really superior???

hatchdragon Aug 31, 2003 12:03 AM

I am confussed. Just when I thought I knew it all.... hehehehe. I have used both flourescents and vapors... until I read this and a few other similar write ups on vapors which made me worry about using them with my guys.

So do I take the vapors off... Go back to the tubes?? I haven't really had any problems with the bulbs besides the fact that they heat up the entire room they are in. The dragons don't seem to mind. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm not going to change my mv bulbs. After a week of getting it my dragons are much more active and a lot more interested it food and other things. Some people might want to change there bulb but since i got it my dragons have at least doubled the time there off there sticked and doubled there appitite. Again, some people might want to change there mv bulbs but im not.
