Hi,

New forum member here with a question about outdoor lighting.

Recently got our 10 month old Marginated, Benedict.

We live in Scotland; just outside Glasgow, so sun and warm days are rare. With the help of my dad I'm going to build Benedict an outdoor enclosure for the sunnier days as I don't want him constantly kept indoors and we have a lot of space to build a decent size outdoor enclosure.

Has anyone ever purchased or could recommend a solar powered lighting system for days when he can be outside, but may still require a little extra heat to bask?

I have tried the usual B&Q, homebase etc, but can't see anything that wouldn't involve one of those LED lights, which I don't think would be the right thing, though I may be wrong according to experience of other tort keepers.

Any help/advice appreciated.

Steph.
