very welcome they are too Jonathan. So dimming switch is probably ok on heat emitters too. All my bulbs have always been Arcadia D3 - and they are sent through the post no problems at all which is super. I do check mine with the IR thermometer and I do think they can get a little hot in the summers months, like you my stands are hand made pieces of wood and one is on a 2nd hand camera tri pod - I like to keep any little ones on the cooler side 26 - 27c as they seem more active too. I worry about electricity cuts with the D3 as the elements are so sensitive. Very useful thanks Jonathan I am checking out the T5 too but will wait for the big announcement first.
