Lighting for terrarium plants..bromeliads

I agree with Sam. Of course, you could get daylight spectrum bulbs for the other fixtures too. The daylight spectrum bulbs are often sold as "freshwater" bulbs in the aquarium business. Generally they have color temperatures in the range of 5000 - 10000 K. I prefer those about 6500 - 6700 K.

thanks so much
i went ahead and replaced the two broken bulbs with the same as the others, 6500k
their werent many options for pc square pinned bulbs
does pc daylight bulbs emit any uv rays at all?

Probably not in any significant quantity, the plants should be fine though and its better for the frogs if there is not too much. From what I hear normal glass like that used in most bulbs filters out the majority of uv light. Specialised uv bulbs have to use different glass so it gets through.

Never mind, I should read the whole thread before I reply.
