hi 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 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 it

It reaches the right temperature) I'm just wondering if i need to add some visible light close to it..

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 eating

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 sun
