UV Lighting - is there a better way?

[JarrenB]

Time for me to replace my turtles UV bulb again!

BUT the fitting im using is a long masterpet fluro tube and half the light misses the basking platform and goes into the water, resulting in lovely green glass.... :evil:

The bulbs are about $50 is there a better way to give my turtles the UV light they need?

I have a set of two screw fit lamps above and one is not in use so I'm looking into the bulbs that look like energy savers.

Please help me out....

Thanks

i use an exo terra 2% uvb energy saver style on my frog tank wasnt to badly priced i guess u would need a higher % though

[suphew]

There are plenty of screw in power saver style UV lights ranging from mid $20 to over $100, your LFS should have a range, if not drop me a PM and I can sort it for you.
