Lighting help please
Hello wondering if anyone can help me . I currently use the Arcadia 160w bulb for my table . But was wondering if anyone else uses something else that is the same as this as I am struggling to find one in my area so having to order online. Didn't know if people used something cheaper or easier to find that does the same trick?
Thanks

I found one online but was going to take 4 days to come so have ordered that as a spare at £38 but sadly had to buy one in the only place I could find miles and miles away from where I live at a shocking £69 never payed that much before but didn't know what else to use

you could have used a normal spot bulb until the new mvb arrived,a few days without uv would not matter.
i buy spot bulbs and halogen bulbs in bulk from ebay so always have spares,i also keep a couple of old mvb bulbs just in case. |

I also buy ordinary reflective light bulbs and swell reptiles own brand halogen heat bulbs which are fantastic they have a built in reflector and throw out a lot of heat
