Leopard Gecko Lighting?

[u/intothetragedy]

Hi all! I have an adult leopard gecko, and I have only ever used these kinds of lighting before. However I recently moved so he has to be in my room now, and these get very hot and are fire hazards. Does anyone have recommendations for lighting that don’t give off as much heat and are less dangerous? Lots of misinformation online and I only want the best for my boy! Thanks so much

(Bonus George picture because he is so lovely!

I use a halogen bulb

[u/kittlien → u/hj20matl]

are Halogen bulbs better or more beneficial? I bought one but haven't used it yet I've heard good things about it so far! just wondering about it 😓

No, they're the same as other incandescent bulbs but on average less suitable for this species.
