Hi Lynn

yes I do use lamps but it's early days with the Paulas. What I mean is they are not tough and heavy like the Hoklartherms. What I do is to have the lamp on an RCD in case of any water going in. With the Hoklartherms there has never been an electrical fault but I'm not as confident about the Paulas. With an RCD on it, I know I'm not electrocuting tortoises but the Health and Safety brigade wouldn't like it!
