Aquarium light ultraviolet content?

#441618 - 10/30/01 06:37 AM (23 years, 3 months ago)

Hi, all!

I found an aquarium [hallogen ?] light on the street. Can this kind of light be used
for lighting in a terrarium? I remember something about ultra-violet spectrum range
being bad for the mushrooms... would an aquarium light be ok?

Aquarium lights are fine. Light in the blue spectrum is supposed to help promote pinning but I've never noticed a difference.
I usually rely on light just to help with the heat a bit and give the shrooms a direction in which to grow.
