Are These The Same...
Found these Halogen Sun vivarium bulbs by Lucky Reptile on PAH website and just wanted to know if these are ok to use for tortoises and if they are they same as the Swell halogen bulbs.
If they are the same what size would we use if we already use a 60 watt basking spot lamp. thanks LINK: http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pe...9?pageSize=144# |

i purchased a quantity of bulbs off ebay a while back,when these have gone i intend to move over to the halogen lamps 100 watt ish that are available at wilko/wickes/b+q ,i use these outside at the moment to good effect.new halogen bulbs are easy to come by and if you buy 10 they work out at around a tenner post free,they also give out a wider basking area and are ideal at this time of year,use with a dimmerstat to prolong the life of the bulb.
