They look nicer than a basic ceramic I guess, and they last longer than a ceramic bulb, won't need a bulb fixture etc.
I'm using a 500w AHS and a 200w ceramic both on full power and it still struggles to heat my viv. |

| 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 |

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

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 |

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

Seen you pic on Facebook you legs looked sore Kelf.
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 |
