Habitat - Indoor :: How hot is to hot?

[l0zo]

I just bought a 150watt outdoor lightbulb, I worried it might be to hot?

[TupacTheTurle]

if thats just your basking light then im gunna venture and say thats wayy too hott...

anyone else?

BTW...is that a flood light? like you'd put in your backyard?

[Chrisbarnett]

Depends on ambient air temp and how far away the bulb will be. but for normal temps and distances, it will probably me much too hot. I would go with a 75watt.

Get a thermometer and check the temp, most likely too hot though. id try a 75 or 100 depending on how close it is.

u could always move it farther away from the tank. i use a 100 watt.
