Best lighting setup?

[jrh3]

What would be the best lighting setup for a 24x24x48 cage with metal window screen? Should i go with a 100 watt mercury vapor power sun or should i go with a 5.0 18inch bulb and basking bulbs. Im trying to find the best uvb rays with out to much and with out to little. What is the recommended setup for lighting.

I do not recommend using a mercury vapor bulb unless you have a UVB meter. If you do not, then I would just go with a linear reptisun 5.0 and a basking bulb.

The 5.0 and basking bulb is perfect-you can go to 24" on the UVB for a little more coverage. My chams that are in that size cage always have a favorite basking branch right near the top where they get optimal ligthing.
