No you would need a T 5 fixture- difference is bulb strength and length-- T 5's do not come in fixtures smaller than 22" I believe- you can keep the zilla hood the Reptisun bulb will fit it--- you can get your Reptisun bulb in the petstore for your fixture the petstores usually carry the size

You
would need a T5 fixture, and the T5
is stronger than the T8.
T5 & T8 refer to the
diameter of the bulb in 1/8" inch increments, so a T5 is 5/8" dia. and a T8 is 1" (8/8") diameter.
The remaining designation is 10.0 vs. 5.0 The 10.0 is stronger than the 5.0, and intended for desert dwellers like bearded dragons. The 5.0 is less intense, and better suited for tropical lizards (chameleons) & fish. :wink:
The T5 is also a different technology than a T8, which is why it is a stronger UVB.
Reptisun
does make a 12" T5 10.0 (probably for a 15" fixture)
