these are for heat
I need 3 lights for 3 tanks for the veileds i am going to get they cost 20 bucks at the pet store and I wont pay that for something soooo simple i can get 550w sockets at HD but i cant find a dome to put it in or even a cheap dome light at HD where has them or could i just get the socket and make a stainless steel square dome for it myself

since no one replyed i figured it out myself I bought 3 Stainless steel mixing bowls 18" i drilled a hole in the middle and cut it out with tinsnips then i took a light bulb socket one of the ones that screws in half so now drop in in and tighten it up to have a god light that reflects heat extremely well and its cheap to boot

Good idea. How much did you spend on the parts? Bowl & socket?
