Also with having a heat bulb you can set it up to a dimming stat which you cant with an all in one bulb.
Thanks for the suggestion - I looked into it when I first set up but is seemed like it would be more complicated.

So you recommend to have the heat lamp on a timer, or a thermostatic controller or both? How many hours a day would the heat lamp stay on for?

And the UV tube would just be on for daylight hours so the tube and heat lamp would need to be on different timers/controllers?
