Just getting my enclosure finished for my Margi (7 y/o).
I bought a 8.5 " light fixture from Zoomed and I went with a 100W MV bulb from Flukers.
After setting it up, I noticed that the bulb is pretty deep and stick out pretty far from the fixture. I assume it should be set up in the reflector more. So I'm not sure this is the best combination.
Would like to know your thoughts.
Second, I've been monitoring the barking ground temp with my temp gun. It's anywhere between 105*-108*+.
Seems a bit high?
I have the ability to raise the light only about another 2 1/2".
Not sure if that will ultimately lower the temp enough.
I could not locate a 75W MV bulb....if anyone knows where I can get one, I'd appreciate it.
So, if love to know some thoughts on the fixture/bulb combo, regulating the temp by raising it (not sure it will be enough) and trying to find a lower wattage MV bulb possibly.
Thanks in advance !
