Depends, what do you plan on keeping in the room?

It will be for boa's.

Boa's don't require any specific light sources however i simulate a night/day cycle for my snake. You can use a plain flourscent bulb.

Many thanks, I will buy one this week.

Just a tip. If you ever decide on getting reptile bulbs.. make sure you get the ones suited for tropicals not for desert herps because that would be too much light. Ok? So either 5.0 or 25 or whatever the lowest series in whatever brand.

I have a 5% bulb so that should be ok. Many thanks again for your help.
