I have many concerns like are the bulbs going to be way to close and possibly cause burns? Do I need to raise them off the screen top? Are the walmart brand fixtures going to focus the heat enough to be effective? Let me know your opinions please?

I've actually listened to the podcast! Most other members here have lead me to bill stands works. I also purchased a cage from the dragonstrand site. I'm still listenting to many of the podcasts on his site. there are so many to go through.
Is it better to go with the 6% or 12%?? Or does it matter much.. from my understanding it doesn't as long as I provide a enclosure with a proper place for them to escape the rays.
