If you don't like the fluorescent tubes, try a Mercury Vapor Bulb. We use the PowerSun 100watt and it hasn't failed us yet. The only thing is that you have to place it at least 18 inches away from the dragons so they don't absorb the harmful UVC rays that the bulb emits. That single bulb lights and heats our 40 gallon breeder perfectly. Whichever brand of bulb you do decide on, they usually have a warranty on them. So in case it does burn out before the guaranteed time, you can receive a replacement. Hope that helps!

A ceramic bulb that emits heat and UVB?? We know of ceramic heat emitters that give off just heat, but didn't know of any kind that give off UVB as well. Who makes these?
