j. said:I have almost 10 days of 200W light bulb exposure. While at the beginning it felt uncomfortable after a while, now I can stay all day next to it and it doesn't bother me. Should increase the number of light bulbs shortly.

Haven't done so in the last few days. Today it drizzled all day.

Dan Wich said:Narouz, first let me thank you for all the light spectrum research you did. Reading your analyses made me switch from the heat lamp bulbs to incandescent.
I was intending to eventually move to red-filtered halogens though. Why did you switch to incandescent?
Franz said:What kind of reflectors do you guys use for incandescent bulbs?
I currently use something like this: http://www.perdixwildlifesupplies.co.uk ... older.html
But what I have only supports up to 250W and some of you guys use more than that.
narouz said:One angle I've been thinking about is
what is the optimal time to run the lights
considering energy consumption and cost.
If I'm using a total of 900watts, that is a lot of money on the ole electric bill.
Peat has said that short periods of intense exposure may be better than long periods of low-wattage exposure.
He has also said something to the effect that most of the benefits occur in under an hour.
I'm wondering whether--especially on a budget--one could do pretty well
dosing oneself intensely for, let's say, 3 or 4 x 1/2hour exposures...?
