Lighting Combinations and Arcadia Deep Heat Projector
Posted: Thu May 07, 2020 10:49 am
Hi guys!
I'm planning to build a new vivarium and I was wondering which combo makes the most sense:
- Halogen Floodlight PAR38 + T5 UVB + CHE for nighttime
- Arcadia Deep Heat Projector + T5 UVB
- Mercury Vapor Bulb + CHE
My current viv has a halogen basking light, a T5 UVB and a CHE for nighttime. I'd like to optimize and only use two lights and one thermostat for day and night.
It gets cold some times in winter (scratches around the 60F / 15C mark) so I guess I'll still stick with night time heat.
Does anyone have experience with Arcadia's DHP? It's not glowing red and is supposedly not affecting the day/night cycle. Can someone confirm that? In that case, I could run that with a thermostat with 2 settings to provide heat day and night with the DHP and light with the UVB?
Thanks a lot!
Take care
