    If you have the EXO terra light hood , I am pretty sure it is made only for CFL bulbs.

    I put in mine the lowest wattage bright white CFL bulbs I could find.

    And put a plexi glass sheet cut to the same size as the screen on top of the screen under the light hood to keep in
    humidity and heat.

    On the front I use one Zoo med deep dome light fixture with a 75W Ceramic heat emitter that is controlled by
    a zoo med hygrotherm HT-10 controller set to 85F for day and a 5F drop at night.
    The hygrotherm has a light sensor on it so I put it so it can switch to night time when the timer on the CFL hood goes off at 5PM.
    I also have a LED strip light that can be any color I want but I set it to red so I can see what the frog is doing.
    In this case not much LOL.

    Thanks, Louis! I have a zoo med mini deep dome lamp, it doesn't say anything about CFL. You use bright white bulbs.. like regular old light bulbs? I have a daytime heat bulb from Zoomed or Zilla. Just curious.. why do you prefer the ceramic heat emitter? Yet another thing I keep hearing totally opposite opinions on.
