Is the Reptisun 10.0 UVB still the best UVB light source?

RelentlessChaos · Jul 20, 2015

I've been using that brand for a few years now; but I have not checked if there's anything new as far as UVB lighting goes.

Also, I'm having trouble figuring out how to mount it for a glass terrarium and a wire hatchling rack.

I have a clutch of Bearded Dragons eggs that will hatch soon and I'm trying to get my own hatchling rack going.

And I need DIY mounting advice, especially for the Reptisun 10.0 UVB.

Here is a picture.

ReptiSun and Arcadia are still trustworthy brands from what I've seen. The T5 bulbs provide the best output in large enclosures and the T8 bulbs w/reflective fixtures provide good output in smaller enclosures like your hatchling bins. I have a travel tank that's about that size and just put a T8 across the top at an angle as the diagram in the previous post suggests. You could also try using some fishing line or similar to suspend the fixture from the rack above. The optimal output from a T8 is about 6-8''
