Reply from them this morning

Hi Carl,
Many thanks for sharing these pictures. I am afraid we have seen this once before and this is our reasoning for recommending our own holders, which hang a bit lower in the terrarium and do not cause too much heat to rise so close to the roof of the terrarium. We will soon be launching a new reflector and guard unit which we then hope will encourage more people to use these bulbs in this new manner.
Many thanks for sending the photos.
Chris

The holder they sell atm,Is more or less the same.Unless you hang it inches from the roof.Add a guard etc,you don't save any space over a normal ceramic.Making these kinda pointless atm.

They still don't state its dangerous to use most mounts,and that you should only use their one.

Should state this on the website and boxes etc.

This is what they need,a holder built for these bulbs.So you get an advantage over normal ceramics.

I replied with this

Thank you for reply i was just making you aware some shops are not making people aware that you need to use your holder and maybe packaging could state clearly to prevent this happening.

Thank you Carl

and got this so hope they do

Thanks Carl, it's a good point well made. I will be sure to speak to our suppliers and hope to make this point more clear. Many thanks. Chris.
