Re: Pro Exotics PE-2 Temp gun review

when your ambient temp is too low is when you can get problems with burning,also the type of bulb you use is important nonhalogen bulbs of low wattage you should not have any problems at all.The bulb shouldn't direct heat into a small spot but evenly.I know some recommend GE, proexotics have a brand they suggest.

If you are using guards on your bulbs and your animals aren't getting burnt,they are too hot and too far away from the basking spot.Because your animals would be getting burnt on the guard if it were the appropiate wattage bulb.Don't use guards.

That was the whole point, on the other forum one guy said put the bulbs above the screen!! (eek)

Another told her to use guards..

I showed her pictures of the widely used hanging bulbs, then illustrated that a proper low wattage bulb will not burn the lizard.

I can set my hand on the face of my 50 watt halogens, yes it's uncomfortable, but I don't blister either.
