NEED UV HELP ASAP PLEASEEE

[Nelbert]

Hi everyone, if anyone can help me it would me massively appreciated !
So I am currently using a Repti glo 10.0 uvb strip light 36" 30watt and that is currently connected to a EIKO electronics magnetic ballast for fluorescent lamp model: A-1566 with a maximum power of 30watts. But Ive not been happy with the quality of repti glo bulbs so I have recently purchased a Arcadia D3+ Reptile Lamp T5 12% UVB 39 Watts. I need to know if I can use the same ballast or if I need a different one and if I do which would I need. If you have the answer to this then THANKYOU SO MUCH !!!

I'm not familiar with your EIKO controller, but if it's only rated to 30w it may run the bulb but it wouldn't be at optimal output. I would replace it with a 39w controller if you can in order to take full advantage of your new Arcadia. It's a great bulb and should serve you very well. I'd pick up one of these for it http://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/rep...rollers-571/arcadia-t5-controller-282649.html
