FC temp/heat?
    #8606223 - 07/07/08 10:05 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

ive recently switched bulbs in my FC.... my FC is a giant rubbermade as a %22house%22 with a FC tub inside which holds my perlite and cakes and is covered for humidity.  I have a bulb fixed on the top lid of the biggest %22house%22 tub... recently switched to a flood bulb from a low intensity bulb which gave off very little heat compared to this one

is there such a thing as too much/too bright of a light from a bulb... i know direct sunlight is a no-no... but bulb? its not a florescent so i thought itd be ok.

also... too much heat? i didnt think this was bad as it encouraged humidity. idk.  thoughts. ideas on the ill effects of this setup?  if its ok, thatd be great. this bulb is easier to manage in terms of FC maintenance

Incadescent light bulbs are the worst possible light source, putting out a red light in the 3000 Kelvin color temperature range.  Use fluorescent lamps for best results.  If you want more info, there's a lighting section at the bottom of my terrarium tek page.
