I was wondering if this(https://www.pangeareptile.com/store/arcadia-12-uvb-t5-reptile-bulb.html) and if the Arcadia bulb requires a converter or something since it is made in Germany. Thanks.

I do advise against using cheap fixtures though. they are definitely a get what you pay for item and while I haven't tested that one specifically, some of the cheaper fixtures I have tested don't produce as much output (same bulbs) as some of the better fixtures like SunBlaster, ReptiSun, and SunBlaze. I'm not certain if the difference is in the ballast/circuitry in the fixture, or the reflector quality (or both).
KeyBlu422":1zv39ow3 said:Oh, how about these t5 ones(http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/miscellaneous-accessories/arcadia-flourescent-lamp-reflectors-new-hot/)? Since it's from Arcadia themselves. Or, since it's cheaper, is it also lower in quality? If this is a good option, should I go with the Arcadia one, the pangeareptile one, the sunblaster one, or the repti sun one?
