I have been seeing lots of people using these days, anyone use them on here or any feedback on them? |

Cheers Kelf, I think I will try and see one in action before I eventually take the plunge as they are not cheap lol |

Do the Rads give a hot spot or are they more of a ambient thing?
Definitely more an ambient thing but the area about 30cm infront if hot I guess that could be your hotspot |

You should stick your legs in there, they'll warm it up nicely at the moment.
Ha ha ha -.-'' |

We have the 500W ones in a 6*3*3 and a 4*2*2 and haven't had any problems. |

I love ceramic bulbs, I've nothing big enough to need a AHS, I suppose another option is the very tidy reptile radiators. They are nifty and sleek. |

I've used one for a few years now
Never had a problem running it. Heated a 5x3x2ft and is now I'm a 4x2x2ft and heats that just fine, very steady temps
It's a ballache to setup and get dialed in but once it settle down no issues
Units are costly |

I'd imagine they'd be fine for a 3ft or 4ft, I believe they're used more for bigger vivs |

I was looking into getting one for my 4ft but the cost of the unit plus a guard was too high to take a chance when not many people had reviewed them so stuck with the ceramic in the end |

Cheers Kelf that's interesting, I was looking into them for a couple of 3ft royal vivs and a possible 6ft burm viv. Lots to think about now |

They look nicer than a basic ceramic I guess, and they last longer than a ceramic bulb, won't need a bulb fixture etc.

Any major pros to them over a basic ceramic set up? |

I use one, not overly impressed with it for the cost though. |
