I currently use a 100 watt PowerSun UVB bulb on the hot side of my enclosed chamber for my sulcata. The problem is that this brings the lowest temperature in the enclosure up to 88 or 89 degrees, which is a tad bit too warm.
Does anyone know if there is a reputable manufacturer of a lower wattage (70 to 80 watts) mercury vapor UVB bulb? My hope is by lowering the wattage, I can simply bring the light fixture on the hot side down closer to the floor to maintain the same 100 degree hot-spot temperature, while also bringing down the overall enclosure temp.
The only option I found on Amazon was a SunForce Mercury Vapor Bulb rated at 70 watts, but I'm not familiar with that brand.
