You need a bright white basking bulb for basking that keeps temps 105-110 for a baby taken w/ a digital probe thermometer 95-100 for juvies / adults -- a projector for heat would need to be used at night if your temps are falling below 65 -- if they are not getting that low you do not need ithi guys. I'm just wondering if it's possible to use this bulb for basking? it's not producing any visible light, is it ok by itself?
or do i need add another bulb with visible light next to it? Sorry if my English is not clear enough (I'm working on it) LOL

You can use it if you need it to get your temps up- but you want the bright white basking bulb--- your trying to mimic the sun a long w/ your UVB- the basking bulb starts digestion and UVB helps absorb/ synethsize the calcium he's eatingthank u for the response. but if i want to use it for the day time.. and not night time is it ok to use it?

It reaches the right temperature) I'm just wondering if i need to add some visible light close to it..
A heat projector is not good for basking--- you want a bright white basking bulb--- the basking bulb starts digestion- the UVB helps absorb / synethsize the calcium he's eating - you want to mimic the sunhi guys.
