I just brought a dome reflector off ebay it took a week to come and i'm using a 25Watt bulb because my 60Watt was making temps over 40C now i'm getting temps at 37C..What should I do? I can't get a lower watt bulb.

Just move the lamp further away until you get the desired temp.

I've got the grill on the end of the dome now i'm hoping that will give it a bit more distance so it wont be as hot.

That grill helped me a lot. it moves it a few inches off.

Now my temps are 30C lol. I'll try the 40watt if it doesn't improve soon.

LOL , I would think the 40w would work nicely. I had to go to 60w when I started to use the grill.

oh I see good job I purchased 40Watt and 25Watt when I went to the hardware store today. I know this would happen with my luck lol
