HQI= metalhalogenlamps best light you can get
HQL= mercuryvaporlamps second only to the above when it comes to light/W

I use them sometimes particularly with varanids. Word of caution, the ones available in the UK have a clear hexagonal center which focuses a hot beam over a small area of the surface and have been none to cause burns with some herps.

BQ usually stock them in a few different colors.

I was going to give these ones a try http://www.livefoodsbypost.co.uk/index.asp?function=DISPLAYPRODUCT&productid=603

The lights in my link is HQI and yes they are pricey but worth every penny.

Some facts:

The light stays the same until its broken from day 1 until its dead: big

10 000 hours: cheap in the long run

Color 5400K: almost perfekt

Lumens 14 000, 150W that is: great

Prize: - well what can i say, buy used ones

Cheers P.T
