Good Light Bulb

[Guenhwyvar]

I wouldn't use any type of heat light on pacmans u will dry them out. There skin is very sensitive to it. I own over 30 pac's. I used exo terra 13w 2.0 ubv bulbs.

Who's using a heat bulb?

I think he means the 25w bulb im using. It is such a low wattage that it really only heats it up a few degrees and it still stays rather humid, plus all the shade from the foliage, I'm not worried that I'm going to cook him.

Oh, I was lost a bit I don't remember reading anything about heat lights, so I got confused.
I just got a light I was told would produce a nice dull blue night type glow, but when I put it in, It glowed RED! I don't really want to get the other blue light because it's incandescent...you think it'd be okay paired with my fluorescent? or should I spring for another expensive fluorescent(like the one I have)?

What is the wattage? My bulb is blue but its a dark/green blue unlike the daylight incandescent bulbs that are bright white. I think an incandescent bulb is fine as long as the wattage is low like 15 or 25.

it is a 15watt that I'm looking at. I think I'll get it an wait a bit before I pay big money for another light. I hope it does the trick. I'm really liking the coralife bulb, they make a night/day one too; it's 9.99 at petsmart.

All the books I have say that heat lights are fine as long as the wattage doesn't go ant higher than 50 and daylight bulbs aren't necissary but the pacman would benefit from the full spectrum lighting because it helps to produce vitamin D3 which they need. I have a 40 or 50 watt daylight blue for day time ane it usually only gets to around 83 to 84 during the day. Plus a under tank heater.

My coralife bulb is blue hue and full spectrum. It looks awesome and has my plants sprouting like crazy, I may need to go on a trimming spree before I get my frog in there.

Do they still have them in stock? Otherwise, would you recommend other led lights alternatives?
