I was just wondering if anyone has considered there flood type
light. The specs on there page (which I am not sure are truthfull)
state that it only puts out 50 mw/cm(cm) at 1 foot. I was wondering, if first
there are any independant checks on this level, and, as this is much lower then the
300 and something of the spot, if it could be considered safe. It's still a lot stronger then the
other rep bulbs, but a good amount weaker then the sun. What I am really conserned about here is eye damage.
Will it 'cause any to the lizard or the humans.

: 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
