Where to find tube uv light fixture!

Celestejai · Dec 3, 2016

Hey ya'll! I'm from cananda, I have an 11 month old beardie, I have a compact uvb 10.0 for her and I want to change to the tube! Where I am(Canada) I cannot find any of the fixtures anywhere in the store. Does anyone have any reliable places online where I can order it from? It's so frustrating because I want my girlie to have the best of the best!

Amazon should have something that will work for you. What are the dimensions of your tank? How far is the basking area from where you'll set up the light? I'll be glad to try and help you find something that is appropriate for your tank.

It's a 40 gallon tank, her basking light is in the corner of the tank, someone told me how long the uvb fixture should be I can't remember I think they said 18"

An 18'' T8 bulb with reflective fixture will be OK depending on how far the basking area is from the bulb. They have an optimal output at 6-8'' from the bulb and drop off quickly after that. If it's further off then I'd go with a T5 fixture and bulb which will have an optimal output about 12'' from the bulb and they put out overall better quality UVB. Lightyourreptiles is a good place to get them but I'm not sure how much shipping would be to Canada. This is the T5 you'd want http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/22-t-5-ho-fixture-high-output-with-arcadia-d3-12-ho-bulb/
