    What point are you trying to make? I stated that there is a possibility that a bulb could burn an animal. Why do you think they sell guards for them - aesthetic purposes?

    One of the big selling points of a RHP is the added safety factor for the animal.

    Does that make bulbs dangerous? I don't think so. A Volvo is significantly safer in a crash than a Miata, but that doesn't make a Miata dangerous - does it?

    It just means that there are greater risks for injury if used irresponsibly. That chance is significantly lowered with a heat panel. DutchHerp and others have commented in the same vein on this and other threads.

    Its not like they would help me any, my mvb bulbs that provide uvb adn heat have to be replaced once a year anyways.
    See the difference between your confusingly worded quote and the actual point of the discussion?

    No-one is telling millions of people that their light bulbs are dangerous. No one is advocating that everyone in the herp world switch to RHPs. All we were doing is discussing the advantages of heat panels.
