Anyone with a large enclosure?? lol Check out this site...regarding high density discharge....mercury vapor lights..yes screw in bulbs (got a porcelin topped fixture?)..tons more uvb output than Zoo-med & others...charts, testimonials,....used by zoos all over the states. Different types of wattages available...8,000 hours longevity...priced $40-$43.oo optimal if used at distances 12-18 inches from your iguana. Checked in Maders ...everything the website claims is true...These lights emit uvb AND heat!! Kill 2 birds with one stone or 1 iguana with one light?? j/k Known hazard=not safe for igs to be staring at these lights, not sure if igs do this Ive never seen my igs stare at their lights...but perhaps this is an alternative for some....Thought it was interesting.Submitted for your approval...lol
