When its winter i use the 100w infrared, and in the summer when i sometimes dont even need to turn the light on for regular ambient temps i switch to the 75w. Now im looking at the BR38 blue bulb link u put up. Im willing to give it a try, so you are saying that using this blue bulb all day to keep ambient temps is better, and less disturbing to the BP than using the infrared bulb im using now?

Like i said i will give it a try, that most i have to loose is 20 bucks. BUT, i would like to ask other forums members here their opinions on this? Specifically those who have actually done the switch, and/or are currently using the blue bulb all day for ambient temps...

They will have adjusted to the red but that is the basic premise they should have no reaction to the blue over the general curiosity of something new. I use blue lights 24/7 in the winter but not a flood, I no longer need it. I run low power LEDs inside the enclosure to hold a low of 78ºF (room temps are below 68º most of the time) More efficient enclosures mean less power.
