Thanks for your help! :)

Yeah basically I just wanted to see if these WERE the inside ballast as I've been told those are the best. Electronic ballast are NOT good but ballasted (inside, outside, etc) were what I was informed to go after. So...in seeing that for even $13 I could get the double strip 4' so I can have my 4' bulbs in there, I thought heck..IF these are the inline/inside ballast fixtures then why spend $60+ on one of those metal hoods when I can have these? ;)
Being involved heavily in rescue, this will help out a lot! I just want to make sure these are what they are..>I will stop by Home Depot this weekend and ask one of their electrical knowledgeable guys to see if he has a clue what I'm talking about. heheehh
If they are, you can bet Amanda will be a VERY happy camper!!!

:Hi Amanda,

:These are just regular old shop light fixtures. I bought
:a double fixture at Lowes for about $10 on sale. If you
:use one make sure it does not have any glass over the light.
:I use 2 4 foot Iguana lights in mine. My habitat is 5'long,
:3'deep and 61/2' high and the warmth from the fixtures heat
:my top area(along with a 100 watt regular light bulb for basking)
:to 90 degrees. They are alot cheaper than the $60 hoods I
:purchased for my turtles when I did not know any better :)

:Hope this helps
