Hey guys! Hope your all having a nice day.
So I purchased an MVB instead of getting separate bulbs, as this has been repeatedly recommended to me.
I'm actually really happy with the bulb, the quality is great and I'm not sure if I'm benefitting from the UVB myself haha but I certainly feel less seasonally affected! (We have long, dark winters here in England & it can be depressing!)
My issue is the 80W lamp I purchased does not seem to be getting hot enough.
I have it fitted about 10 inches (if that!) from the top of LD's enclosure. At first, I thought it was cooling down throughout the day, as others seemed to have that issue online. Now though, after using my digital thermometer to investigate properly, I can see it's not reaching the 100-110F temps that LD needs and enjoys! (She basked under the 100W normal bulb a lot more!)
Anyways, has anyone had this issue before with the Arcadia MVB? Or any MVB's?
I want to buy the 100W MVB but it's not cheap & if it gets too hot, then it's useless to me =\
