Need a new bulb

[Rowan]

Hi,

Just wanting some feed back / experiences on bulbs.

Mine is due to be changed and I've always bought Megaray Combined. I am wondering whether to try an acadia combined bulb?

Does anyone have any info on these bulbs or use them please?

Thanks,

Row xx

Ummm about 4x5" but I couldn't tell you how high the bulb is cos I've put it away in the shed for the summer...The instructions are on the box though Row

I bought a D3 100w for my table a couple of months ago. Really pleased with it and will definately replace with same when needed.

Thanks Bindi, my enclosure isa similar size, although split in half and the light is shared I might go for 160w bulb. Desicions decisions decisions...

Guess I'd better get the credit card out

I reckon the 160 should be ok Row,they don't produce as much heat as you'd expect

That's what I was worried about it producing too much heat and then having ot too high so no UV benfit..

You've mad my mind up!!!!

Thanks,

I would say 160w for that size... the UV spread is wider on the
160
