    It's a Lutron Credenza lamp dimmer and it costs around $11. I have found the majority of mine at Home Depot, but I'm sure Lowe's carries them too. They are very easy, just plug it in and go, no wiring necessary.

    They look like this:

    Nada, except for some reptile bulbs are made of colored glass(red, blue, etc), or the glass is coated in some way to mimic nighttime.

    But if you're using it for a Bearded, the lights should be turned off at night anyway.

    I would use one of those 45w flood bulbs from WalMart. They are awesome and can get your basking spot very warm(hot enough for most monitors).

    Ya just gotta play with it!

    There is a difference. Reptile bulbs(incandescent) emit UVA light which lizards need becuase UVA has a profound effect upon behaviour, and specifically, how they visualize food items. They are also(for the most part) full spectrum which means that you see the true colors of the animal, unlike different hues produced by house bulbs.
