Which heat source to run with Arcadia t5 12%?
I’m having trouble with getting correct temperature gradients when I use a halogen and DHP with the Arcadia t5 12% in the enclosure. It’s melamine and 4x2x2 and when have all 3 fixtures running the cool end is to hot up into the 80’s and for a blue tongue that’s to hot. When I use either the DHP or the halogen by themselves with the t5 the temperature is pretty good and nice gradients across the enclosure using infrared temp gun for surface temperatures. Which would be a better alternative the halogen or the DHP?
