Chill connor, have a browse through the beardie section lots of info there Most products are personal choice, vivs are quite often home built or there are lots of online viv builders. I use Habistat dimmer stats and microclimate both are good, other than that i use a basic basking bulb on a ceramic fitting playsand for substrate nice big rocks and logs for decor i am sure more people will post their info when they come online Oh and by the way beardies are superb to keep good choice

Not sure of therelative merits of different brands, but I have 2 in a 4ft viv, with a T-rex combined UV and heat bulb for daytime heat and a heat mat for nightime heat. Have the mat on a thermostat so it comes on when the lamp goes off. Sand for substrate, plenty of rocks and bark for interest and basking spots.
I think, tho I could be wrong, that most commercially available kit is probably equally good. So long as the viv is big enough, day temp is high enough to bask in, night temp does not drop too low and there is a decent temp gradient, you should be ok.
As karen says, have a trawl around the forum. You'll find lots of answers on previous posts.
Best of luck
ps if poss try and get more than 1. they are fairly social animals and interact with each other (and you)
