Lighting replacement bulbs

[PogosMom2]

I know nothing about lighting except what I've learned here. Our power went out and with it, my T5 12% 24 watt, 22 inch bulb. I'm having a tough time finding replacement bulbs. No, nearest PetSmart is out. So, my question is, can other brands work just as well?

Reptisun 10.0 is the other option. Almost all other brands aren’t recommended

If they are the same length and the same socket they should work. Be careful and don't buy inferior bulbs though, they could not put out sufficient uvb

This has been an adventure. Found a Petsmart that had the T5. Ordered it online for pick up this morning. Got there at opening, did a little shopping and went up to pick up my lights. The order had been cancelled by Petsmart. Apparently the website was incorrect and they didn't have any. In fact the guy said there was no tag on the shelf, which led him to believe it had been discontinued. Didn't have the right size Reptisun 10.0. Both the sites recommended are out of stock. Found a place in Oklahoma (I'm in GA) but they did have them in stock....whew! The place is called Bean Farm, very reasonable prices and even with 2 day delivery it was less than the bulb at Petsmart.

Ok I recommend having a spare- I have two dragons and always keep 2 spares for their tanks-

Any luck finding a bulb? You could try the website “Reptilerus” if you haven’t, their prices are good but I’m not sure about shipping.

Where is the uvb? Distance and placement will be determined by the screen

 

[PogosMom2]

its about 12" above basking decor on top of the screen (the bigger holes)
