The issues here are quite obvious.

Yes we have we believe the best MV in the world in terms of quality and output but....

The issues lay with controllability and coverage.

MV lamps by definition only have a small footprint, you have a big species.

So we need to provide UVB over the whole shell and as part of the light and shade method.

For bigger species a product like ZooBar alongside a stat controlled heat source would be cheaper to run potentially but would provide a source of wild are-Created solar energy over a defined area.
