im pretty positive they are t-8's..i may be wrong but im fairly confident.

what is so much different about that MV bulb then all the others people are using? plenty of other people seem to be doing alright with the powersun and megaray bulbs. i would think it would damage eyes if its way to close to the cage/chameleon. but if they are set away from the cage properly i...

if you bought the solar glo you wouldnt need any more uvb then just that..or a flourescent tube period. i have not heard any one comment at all about the solar glo bulb though so can't help ya there.

i read that happened to your cham but i have heard no other problems? i was planning on "as a start anyways" setting up so my cham cant get any closer to the top of the cage then 8 inches " its a 4 ft tall cage" and have the light hung 12 inches above the top. in another post i made i can get...

i haven't picked one up yet because i have still been trying to decide what i for sure want to do. i will pick one up though if i get a mv setup.

anyone on here using them at the moment? or have you in the past? just wondering out of the many brands which one to try or a few different ones to try..? i dont want to go anything bigger then a 100-125 watt. i can get the exo-terra ones at my local pet store for $27. any use with those..? what...

thank you for the response. i know they get very hot " i ran 2x400 watt metal halides on my reef tank for several years" i understand the concept and what lighting could cause if done incorrectly. i just figured a 100 watt MV lamp, placed 12 inches above the top of my cage and have nothing go...

well if i do get one i would go with a 10.0 because the cage is 4 ft tall " if i build one 5 ft" but i am struggling on what i want to use really. ideally i want to use a mercury vapor bulb in a deep dome setup. i have heard many good things until i got on this site no one has had anything to...

hey all. just curious on how the bulbs from this brand are? my local pet store sells them for a reasonable price and im wondering if i should order zoo-med online instead. i used to work at this pet store so i get a good discount also. that is all they carry though is the exo-terra brand. are...

okay well thanks for the advice everyone, i would rather use that light setup anyways. i planned on having a few of each plant i am going to put in to swap out. my wife hated my reef tank because of the metal halides :) haha. utility bill and heat.:rolleyes: does anybody have any...

i was told about the vapor bulb at my local pet store..but she told me i have ONLY the vapor bulb, because they give off heat and the rays needed for a chameleon.. from research online people do it but only use 100w bulbs, and only certain ones that dont give off to much uv. i was just hoping...

thanks for the quick reply. i am planning on a mister, just wanted to make sure just in case i ever had an issue or cover the worst case scenario for myself. i have been reading alot, for several months. i keep seeing different "needs" and what not. my local pet store knows alot when it comes to...

hey all. i am getting a chameleon here shortly when i am ready and have my setup done. i am building a cage 24x24x48 and just making sure i have everything right to go with it. im doing it once,and doing it right. "dont worry about the cage size the cham is 8-9 months old" okay so here i go...
