160-watt Powersun UV is designed for large terrarium enclosures and veterinary use. the 100-watt is more appropriate for medium size terrariums. All animals should be able to get a minimum of 12" away frm teh lamp as well as have a "cooler" area away from the lamp (minimum 24").
Both lamps require a ceramic or porcelain base.
Powersun UV is both a UV and heat lamp. However, for those animals that do not need 8-10 hours per day of UV-B exposure time, an additional heat source will be need for the times your Powersun UV is turned off.
