Terrarium lighting for plants

[jtay]

I find full spectrum bulbs to be best for plants - and probably the frogs too. Use one with a lower UV output (2 - 5%)
Fluorescent tubes and compact bulbs do not put out heat.
With the depth of your tank perhaps use a bulb of a high wattage so the light penetrates deep enough?
Exo Terra and Arcadia do good bulbs - I use both brands.

Difficult to reach the bottom without the usage of HQI or HQL lamps.
But if i am right, most plants you like to use are from the philodendron family right?

I'll go with Arcadia D3 6% compact if you wan't to use UV and if you're temperature may not rise,
try out some energy-efficient lamps like Philips tornado or true light.

If you do like to use ground covering plants, use ferns and other plants that dislike full lighting.
