Grow Lights

Ok good, so I’m on the right track. Is ZooMed linear bulb ok? I’ve been looking at about a 150w-200w. Is this going to be enough for my set up? It’s a 2”x2”x4”

I have two of these, one with my Arcadia 6% UVB bulb and another one with my 6500k daylight bulb on my 2x2x4.

Just curious how big is your enclosure? I feel like I need more plant light but I have a female and in adding the second T5HO for a 65k along the CHE I've noticed slightly higher temps.

I just have the 2x2x4 xlrg reptibreeze. Top is full.

What good does the 6500 daylight do? You don’t really need it, right?

I have it, but really not sure why lol

Ok. So since this is my first time with a smaller cage set up (my first cage I hand built and its 2”x4”x7” and the linear is mounted to the top back evenly placed in the middle) how do I mount/display this light so that its practical and actually helping to my cham?

No, you don't need it, but it's good for plant growth and also provides brighter, more natural light for cham.

I got the 24W sansi grow light bulb and it arrived today, you guys were not kidding around when you said it was bright. Almost blinded myself looking at it. Leads me to the main question: should I have any concern having it over the enclosure in terms of my cham's eyesight and/or health?

My chams love basking directly under them! I guess they know not to look directly at them for too long - like the sun

My cham also sits right under his and seems to love it. I've had it for about six months and haven't had eye issues.
