Halogen Basking Lamps

[Ehatcher]

Are these to concentrated of a beam for a Bearded? bad for the eyes or anything? I would be using this in conjuction with a 10.0 UVB UVA lamp. Just using the the Halogen for basking.

Thanks

As long as the temps stay in the proper ranges and you still have a gradient, I think you're fine. Why do you need additional lighting? Normally the UVA/UVB MVB should suffice for heat and basking.

well i got a strip light that I put in a hood for the UVA and UVB bulb. This bulb does not put out any heat, but gives all of the UVA and UVB the Dragon will need. I have the halogen for the Basking spot.

a plain 60 watt bulb should give off enough heat for a basking spot. That's what was recomended when I asked on a bearded dragon forum.
