Which Mercury Vapor Bulb Do You Use?

Hi there,

With all the different Mercury Vapor Bulbs out there, such as T-REX UVA-UVB HEAT, Zoo Meds The PowerSun UV, and Bigappleherp.com's SunForce Mercury Vapor Bulbs, I was wondering which one do you use and which one you think is the best?

I have t rex and hobby, but i have heard that the megaray lamp is one of the best as they show less decay over time than other brands, so i will be trying these next Smile

Patman I use T-Rex I chose this after reading this info http://www.russiantortoise.org/uvb.htm but I have heard that Megaray is good as Stells has stated. They were just really pricey, but have now come down in cost may try them next and see.

I have tried a few different ones but after I tried the MegaRay I decided to stay with that one. You can check out the science on it that was done independently of the people that make it. And its no longer more expensive than the others.

I just received 2 MegaRay 100 watt bulbs today. It sounds like everyone says their the best.

Thanks for all your help.
