Thanks Ingo I have been going bonkers waiting for someone to reply.

So what you are saying is:

1. Get ceramic, they last longer
2. Get ones that say "UV Protection"
3. Spot reflector
4. 70-150watt with 4,000-5,500K

Couple of questions.

1. When you said "Make sure you use safety glass to prevent UVC" what did you mean? Most bulbs I looked at said they had UV protection etc, is that what you mean?

2. Your T5 flourescents are for UVB I am assuming?

3. The Metal halides you use do not give UVB correct?

4. In regards to a Ballast. I just have to match my wattage and bulb type (Mogul vs Medium bases)?
