Whats the best light bulb to buy that dont give off much heat at all..?
I've just moved Rusko into a new Viv =D looks sooo snazy!
And I have put a normal 40watt bulb in there but it brings the temp up way to much and I don't really fancy putting more vents in as theres 4 already.. I was thinking of them LED sticky back night light things but it wouldnt be good as i'll be buyying batteries none stop.. Anyone had this problem before ?
The lights are for my viewing only..

pricey, but they'll outlast any regular bulb and probably work out cheaper than keep replacing those :) |

Thank you peeps =]
Yes my light is guarded with 3mm mesh..
I do have my LED strips for evening time. I have tryed energy saving bulbs but they still give off to much heat to keep me happy.. I like things as perfect as they can be hehe..
I think im going to get some of these as I need (Bayonet Caps)

I'll let you know how they turn out.. Quite pricey.. For a bulb.

I have both day and night bulbs in mine, both low (15) wattage and little or no heat. And yes both are guarded before anyone asks  |

failing that, energy saving bulbs give off a LOT less heat than standard bulbs and will still fit existing set up. thats what i do...still now you got me thinking of LED strips...
if its any help LEDS use next to know battery power so that shouldnt be a big problem. |

Sorry, have to ask, is that bulb guarded?
I don't use bulbs but I think people use uv lights. |
