Lighting for my emperor scorpion!

[Andrewty]

Ok so i have a tank for an emperor scorpion all set up but i need help on lighting for it! i have read a few things on the net but they are just so confusing! so today i went out and i got 40w night glo from Exo Terra, and 25w sun glo from exo terra. And i wanted to know if these are good? If not what do i need becuase its so confusing!

Thank you, Andrew :

Scorpions are nocturnal, so you really don't need extra lighting. In the wild, emperors typically spend the day down in their burrows and seldom see direct sunlight. Unless you're keeping them in a dark closet, the ambient light coming into a room during the day is usually sufficient to meet their day/night light cycle requirements. If you do add lighting, which you might need for a planted enclosure, a full spectrum daylight bulb is probably the best choice. You want to avoid UVA and UVB bulbs used in reptile enclosures. Scorpions are sensitive to UV light and prolonged exposure can be harmful.
