T-Rex bulbs and dragon color?

barker109 Aug 22, 2004 11:16 PM

Has anyone noticed a change in their dragon color using the T-Rex bulbs? Some of my dragons seem to be turning a brownish color. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks for any response.

Take care,
Karen

I've never used T-Rex bulbs but I believe light intensity has a lot to do with dragon color. My dragons always seem to look better with really bright lights in addition to the UV bulbs.

Thanks Sean,
I used the fluorescent for a while and my dragons had nice color. I switched to the Powersun and again had good luck other than they burnt out to quickly. Then I tried the T-Rex bulb and the color just got dull. I went to beautiful dragons and checked out the info but I didn't really get any answers to the color problem. Hummmm, that reminds me of some other lighting questions I have but I need to figure out how to word my sentences so other people can understand. LOL.....
If you know of anyone else with this problem please let me know. I'd like to figure out if these bulbs are to intense or not intense enough or what??????

Thanks again,
Take care,
Karen
