I am going to need to replace my bulb eventually and there is nothing like talking to people that have tried different products.

Please post the lighting that works best for your turtles including maker, wattage, bulb/tube...

What kind of bulb are you talking about? Do you mean a flourecent bulb or a normal incandecent bulb. If your looking for a flourecent the Repti-Sun 5.0 by Zoo-med is the best out there. If your looking for a basking light, you can use just a normal household bulb. Just use the correct wattage for the distance the light is from the basking area.
