We use red bulbs for nocturnal reptiles.

I'm not sure about those bulbs but you can use normal bulbs, you don't need to buy the really expensive ones Smile

We just use a normal red bulb as a heatbulb and put it on a dimmer stat and it works fine.

I wasn't saying you shouldn't get the bulb you posted above, just that you can use normal household lightbulbs and save a fortune as they work just the same Smile

Is it to provide low level illumination or background heat?

ok i have a normal bulb already but its just for the day time to boost temps abit and its a night light bulb like a moon light glo so its like a cream colour but not bright at all you could look at the bulb all day and your eyes would still be ok i was wanting to use the red bulbs at first as people say reptiles cant see red but i have been told they can and i am only wanting the light for a lil light a night time but not enough to disturb my snakes and i want it for a lil heat yes just to boost the temps in viv over night if you know what i mean
