All in one bulbs!

Hi all,

at the moment I have the "exo Terra" Aluminium UV reflector Lamp holder with the "real Sun" Self Ballasted Mercury Vapour Lamp.

now its time for a new lamp the "real Sun" is about 12 months old. now my question is can I use my existing lamp holder with the Exo Terra Solar Glo? or will I need a different lamp holder?

cheers,
Pete.

I'm not familiar with the lamp holder mentioned, I use Exo Terra 25cm Glo Light lamp holders and Arcadia 160w bulbs. I take UVB readings from the bulbs and have had them running for well over 2 years and they are still producing good levels of UVB. I have tested Solarglo bulbs in the past too and and the UVB was useless after just a couple of weeks.
