Those of us that keep reptiles, turtle and other such creatures can not use CFL’s as a basking lamp. The idiots.... How will a CFL keep Zack and Mack, my two headed turtle warm and alive? Jeez...
“can not use CFL’s as a basking lamp.”
Absolutely correct! I have a ceramic radiant heater, basically a far-IR light bulb. A Gorebulb emits little IR.
