Lighting for my bearded dragon

[MWise2022]

I am building a 4x2x2 Viv for my 5yo dragon. It will b made of reclaimed lumber, plywood, and most likely tile flooring. I just got him from a friend of mine who has him in a smaller Viv. I am trying to reuse the uvb fixture I have. It is 18in long, and she just changed the bulb before giving me the whole set up ( about 2 weeks ago) If I add a basking plus uvb buld to his basking spot would this give him enough uvb light in his new viv.

Also my house tends to run cooler. So we do have a night time buld we use to keep the tank at about 70-73. His basking right now is about 100 and about 80 on the cooler side during the day. I know w the new Viv it will take some time to get the working just right but hoping to reuse some of the supplies I already have. Thank in advance for all the help.

Your going to need at least a 24" fixture like a Zoo Med or a Arcadia pro T 5 or a sunblaster nano tech-- pro T w/ a 12% or a 10.0 T 5 for the Zoo Med it will need to go inside the tank w/ a distance of 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor-- your probably gonna need a 150 watt clear bright white basking bulb temps will need to be taken w a digital probe thermometer- you want surface temps not air-
