Hi! I just got back from my friend's lighting store, and there are so many different types of light bulbs...
I was mainly looking at the flourescent light bulbs, because I hear most people use those, but I read in the store that halogen uses very little energy, and is very close to natural sunlight?
And are incandescents bad? or those energysaver bulbs which are really bright and expensive but and last very long?
Oh, and of the flourescents, there were cool, warm, and day lights? I really had no idea, so I didn't buy anything yet...
I tried to look online for help and I heard cool and warm bulbs reach the closest to natural daylight, but I wanted to make sure before I buy them for my terrarium. I want to get a light for my tank, which I think is about ~2ft by 1ft by 1.5ft
All help is much appreciated!
