Pearlco 60 w CHE vs Pearlco 30 w CHE vs Zoomed 60 w
Hi All ~
In an effort to better heat my leo 20 gallon long with overhead lighting, I am experimenting with the above bulbs.
On the warm end with a Taylor digital right beneath the bulb:
30 w Pearlco = 81 F
60 w Pearlco = 82-84 F
60 w ZooMed Nightlight Red Reptile Bulb = 95, now 90 F consistently. (Initially got 95-100 F temps.)
I expected a much greater difference between my brand new Pearlco 60 w and my older, but not well used, 30 w Pearlcos. So, I am unsure if my new 60 w Pearlco is working properly. Returned the 60 w Pearlco for a 100 w Pearlco.
I had hoped for some equivalency between the incandescent and the CHE 60 w bulbs.
Any comments on whether I should be getting more heat from my 60 w Pearlco?
