Finding a T8 18" or 24" fixture for ReptiSun

[LanterLand]

Just a little help for anyone looking for a fixture. Just spent a week trying to track down one. Ordered one that turned out to be t5 -_- Went to Walmart, Lowes, Tractors Supply, Home Depot and checked multiple places online. Could order one at Home Depot but would take 2 weeks to come in. Finally found a perfect one on amazon, I had to look up florescent black light specifically. It didn't show up when I looked for t8 fixture, 24" light fixture, florescent fixture, etc. Here it is, even has a reflector, https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000GATTMY/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Why would you want a t8? The t5 is way better setup and puts out way more uvb than a t8.

I can only find t8 bulbs locally.
