Hey all,
I thought I posted this but couldn’t find it so here I go again.
I’ve got the wood sitting in the garage and will get it together this week sometime. My house is usually kept at around 17 degrees or warmer (little kids at home most of the time). On occasion we might all be out all day and have the heater off.
I (will soon) have an enclosure for a Bearded Dragon that measures 1200 x 550 x 550. I’m planning on using a JET-005 controller for the following reasons (unless someone convinces me otherwise)
I plan to use a ceramic heat lamp and 1 x 3’ UV tube.
Questions:
I also plan to use 2 x plastic rectangle vents, a low one near the lamp and the other up high on the opposite side.
Am I missing anything else in terms of what I need? There will be a hiding hole that will double as a basking spot under the heat lamp and a nice thick log/branch I will find somewhere the climb and sit on.
Thanks again.

- Day/night feature so I don’t have the heat the tank 24x7
- Built in light timer for the UV light
- Dimming heater controller.
I plan to use a ceramic heat lamp and 1 x 3’ UV tube.
Questions:
- Would a 75W heat lamp be enough or should I get the 100W heat lamp? I’m guess if not required the controller will only run the lamp at < 100% anyway so why not put the extra grunt there – just in case it’s needed
- Is 1 x 3’ UV tube enough for say 8-10 hours/day?
