If it's for display, turn it off at night. My Royal goes off her food if she has too much light in her viv.

Are there striplights that don't get hot and don't need a guard, to use just for lighting?

there are so many different types of lighting that you can use...

i use a normal BC light fitting with a small 14w red pigmy lamp with a mesh guard to protect it.
