What could you recommend as a good low light source for a Hinkali leaf gecko during the day. I heard that they really do not require a light. But to put one in would be for viewing use only. And it just needs a light as far as a heating source. How would a infared red bulb work at night for a heat source? Im open for any help or suggestions. If possible any good brands of lights that would be of use. thanks

A simple red incandesant bulb will work fine. Reptiles don't see this color.

If its not for heat use dont go with a infrared heat bulb, these tend to live a short life (4-8 months) and arnt that cheap.
