Re: microclimate B1ME thermostat - Whats the best bulb?

i think the geckos get enough light at night from the bightness in your house.i know i can still distinguish objects in my apartment with no lights on,and a gecko's night vision is way better than mine.

So do you think a red light on during the day and the night (at different brightness to allow a drop at night) would be OK?
