Dhp reccommendations

[helpmekeepthem]

Hi so I want to get a DHP for my leopard gecko and I wanted to put it on her 18" tall tank. Any brands/wattage recommendations? I kno arcadia is good but it's like $10 more money than a different one on amazon. Also is Pangea a good brand for DHPs?

When it comes to lighting/heating I try not to skimp on things because of a few bucks.

I don't know much about the DHP as my ball python uses an RHP.

Don't let $10 detour you from a better, longer lasting, more efficient product.

Arcadia is the best - they developed DHP in the first place. I have never used the Pangea DHP but keepers I know and trust have been happy with it. I'm just a little reluctant to try a DHP that hasn't been tested as thoroughly as the Arcadia brand. I totally understand wanting to be respectful of budget limitations, but I'm not sure a $10 difference is necessarily significant enough to keep you from getting the best.
