Basking temps are too high, if it gives enough light and I bet 75 watt will provide that, maybe lift the light a few inches above the enclosure.Changed out heat bulb with a Philips 75br30 Plant 6-1 Bulb. Temps went up a bit 90-95 basking. An switched basking sites for plants. Would be aces if this plant bulb was dimmable. Enclosure looks brighter but just not liking basking Temps. Are plants ok if there about 7-8 inches from the bulb?
No, the Jungle Dawn is a plant light, not a UVB bulb/fixture. If you want to use an Arcadia UVB bulb, most use the T5 HO 6% (placed the appropriate distance away). They only need to be replaced yearly, or when the UVI levels are cut in half (if you have a Solarmeter 6.5 to check them). If you have a basic or Arcadia T5 HO linear fixture, you can link the UVB and Jungle Dawn together so you only have to use one outlet.Anyone know how long the Arcadia Jungle dawn 15 watt last?

Reptisun T5 HOs are good for 1 year.Anyone know how long the Arcadia Jungle dawn 15 watt last? I know the reptisun 5 t5 h0 are six months an can jungle dawn replace the reptisun?
Crap.....only read half of itNo, the Jungle Dawn is a plant light, not a UVB bulb/fixture. If you want to use an Arcadia UVB bulb, most use the T5 HO 6% (placed the appropriate distance away).

Thanks an replacing the Phillips plant light with a jungle dawn. Should be here next week. Temps are ranging 90-100. An bulb is burning leaves. Noticed something was up. With Cham hanging 50-60% down from the lights.Reptisun T5 HOs are good for 1 year.
Thanks for this advice just purchased the reprashy burger liquid food. Have alot of questions lately. Just trying do everything right for my panther Cham. I had one few years ago an died before I had him a year.I separate and feed my bugs with my highest quality gutload overnight (anywhere from 24 hours to a few hours before feeding off will work). At all other times, I feed a lesser quality gutload to the colonies so they're hungry for the good one. You can also use the highest quality gutload 24/7, too, but the first option ensures the bugs are stuffed with the god gutload. Here's a great chart for ingredients and ration sizes of each type of ingredient! The more variety you have, the better! Neither the Fluker's Cricket Cubes or Cricket Chow are good gutloads
Edit: Sorry, I read that wrong. You're doing it correct, just add some better ingredients
Apart from being too short and not powerful enough? That bulb is only 12" long and puts out 2.4% UVB.Would this work for a panther chameleon https://www.reptilebasics.com/t5-light-fixtures/shadedweller-pro-arboreal-t5-uvb-kit-12/
Thank you,Apart from being too short and not powerful enough? That bulb is only 12" long and puts out 2.4% UVB.
IMO, it's confusing, because they have other bulbs labeled "ShadeDweller" that put out 7% UVB.

I think most folks here would recommend either Reptisun 5.0 or Arcadia 6%, either preferably running full width of your enclosure. In a few cases, some may go up to Reptisun 10.0 or Arcadia 10% or 12%, with greater distance between bulb and basking site.
As long as we're talking about T5 bulbs, either mfr's bulbs are good for 1 year.
To what purpose? There are 2 (well, 3) factors to basking site temps. I can see how a thermostatic controller will help with air temperature, but the effect on surfaces will be delayed, and it will have no effect on radiant heat from the basking bulb.Thank you,
My reptisun 5 is about to expire. Got a Arcadia 6 t5 coming this week. Plus the jungle dawn with it. Thought I give this one a try never used them before.
Anyone know any good reptile temp controllers. Looking to buy one cheap of course but durable. Was hoping use one for my veiled an panther. With a basking temp of 85. Was thinking they need same Temps as am using the same 75 watt exo Terra bulbs on both just different fixtures.
What genders are your chams? And what type of Exo Terra bulb do you use?Thank you,

I don't find a yellow box; I do find orange. Is this it?Both are males an use yellow box 75watt exo Terra heat bulbs. Forget name of the bulbs exo Terra has so many. Never heard of the orchid hoyas.
