So up until now I have used Reptisun T5 10.0 bulbs but I am seeing so many good things about Arcadia as well. Most recently a mention that Arcadia 14% is effective at 24 inches...
I am using the Zoo Med ReptiSun LED UVB Terrarium Hood - 24" which can bee seen at https://www.joshsfrogs.com/zoo-med-t5-reptisun-led-uvb-terrarium-hood-24.html for reference. In looking I did not that the Arcadia and Reptisun are both 24 watt tubes and as i can replace T5 with T5 I don't see any reason why i couldn't put the Arcadia tube in there.
I am wondering if anyone has done just this and if there was any issues.
Also while I did see a post that with a reflector and the fixture mounted inside the 14% was good up to 24 inches i haven't been able to find the correct distances for the 12% mounted inside, only for on a screen. If anyone has the right ranges for the 12% and 14% Arcadia mounted inside with the reflector inside (no screen) or can point mew in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I have searched the board for hours but haven't been able to find a minimum range of the 14% or good ranges for the 12%.
If its helpful, what i am looking to do is raise my UVB up in a 4'x2'x2' enclosure. Currently it is suspended and hanging down for correct distance with the Reptisun 10.0 T5, but since my fixture also has LEDs for visual light it would help to be higher for those to more naturally light the enclosure.
