Not sure which specific fixture would be best, but all T5 Bulbs require an Electronic Ballast (flicker free) vs the previous T8 Bulbs that work on Electronic Ballasts (Better) and Magnetic Ballasts (Worse [They Cause Flickering Upon Startup]). So any fixture that fits a T5 Bulb of your measurement will work (Assuming it has the right wattage) as all T5 Fixtures are Electronic Ballast. A T8 Fixture will not fit a T5 Bulb and a T5 Fixture will not fit a T8 Bulb. I hope this helps. :D

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
