<p>Well, I tried the 100 watt reptile heater and it would not get hot enough.</p>
<p>I blacked out the bottom with hi-heat black paint and used regular 100 watt incandescent bulb and two florescent tubes on the side. (does not work well if florescent lamps are in front of lamp-only in the side/rear)</p>

<p>Well, I tried the 100 watt reptile heater and it would not get hot enough.</p>
<p>I blacked out the bottom with hi-heat black paint and used regular 100 watt incandescent bulb and two florescent tubes on the side. (does not work well if florescent lamps are in front of lamp-only in the side/rear)</p>
<p>then i noticed (my oversight) that this base I was using was the VERY old style and the lamp socket was much lower than the newer models, which would of attributed to the fact it wouldn't heat properly with the 100 watt reptile blacklight.</p>
<p>The next step was to remove the dents, paint the base, add the dimmer (almost completed) and use a 150 watt reptile heated since it was a taller bulb. (and remove the blackout paint),</p>
<p>Blacklight florescent dye works best with florescent tubes due to proper wavelength, so if this final step of just the 150 watt reptile heater didn't illuminate well, a box was designed to house the lamp (and half built), the two florescent tubes, and flexible mirror in rear to disburse the light..</p>

<p>It would have been a grate lamp, was the plan to heat it with a reptile heater and also have a UV bulb in the base as well.</p>

<p>the only conclusion I can come up with is that the 24oz of fluid I bought for blacklight coloring has a higher expansion rate than distilled water.</p>
<p>IF I was to do this again, I would install a fluid expansion insert like Kirk uses on glitter lamps</p>
<p>Unlikely I will use a LL globe for the next one, I would prefer to have the florescent blacklight inside the globe</p>
<p>the reptile heaters just do not give off the right wavelength of light</p>
