Yeah the bulb sat just above the bars, practically touching. the cage is about 35-40cm is it did the job for a short period although yes it is normally should be lower. Could modify the cage maybe?!

Have you considered making a tort table and placing a mesh cover over it?

Yes, that was my original plan but then I decided an indoor cage would be easier. Looks like it better be a rabbit cage with separate lights or a wooden table with the combined light.

Looks like I have some decisions to make. Thanks eveyone for your help. I would still love to see pictures of other peoples lighting arrangements if anyone else feels like posting one.

Ok, here are a couple of pictures of my heat lamp:

You should be able to see in the above picture that the lamp is resting on the bars either side by the metal hanger attachment.

From above, where you can see the piece of garden wire I mentioned in my earlier post. You could use more wire than I have to mkae sure it's completely secure.

Hope those photos help!
