Anyone have any advice about these Ceramic Heat Emitters? I currently use a regular incandesent bulb for my dragons heating needs and in addition to that I have a UVA/UVB tube-bulb. I was thinking of replacing the incandesent bulb with the heat emitter. I usually turn my dragons heat light off at night, so are they made to be turned off and on like a bulb or would it take to long to heat up in the mornings? I was just trying to eliminate one of the lights that's on during the day. I appreciate any advice.

problem is really that beardies need the light. they figure out where the heat source is by the light. one of the reason under tank heaters dont really work well with them

I use the ceramic for night since I can't stand the red lights. It is on an automatic switch that turns on when a certain temperature is reached on the heat probe.
I use a spot light for basking and strip light for UV. Both get turned off during the night.
I like the ceramic. Can't put it in a reptile strip light though. The heat radiates down.
