I Just Paint Cheap Light Bulbs With Heat Proof Engine Paint In Red Or Blue. I Leave These On Permanently They Only Last About The Same But Cost Bugger All, During The Day I Turn On A Reflector Globe With A Thermostat For Carpet Pythons Ive Had For 10 Years So Mustn't Be Too Bad A Setup. I Think Diamonds May Need Uv Though.

You might want to consider ceramics instead... like the ones on sale this month from the Herp Shop. It is rare for these to fail ever.

Are You Saying These Last For Years I've See Them Before But Just Thought They Wouldn't Last Any Longer Than Light Bulbs I May Have To Take A Closer Look. That Sounds Perfect, Thanks
