Reptisun light question.

[Mordecai]

I just want to be sure. Do I need to change my light every 6mo or once a year. It is the reptisun 10.0 T5 ho. Thanks for you help.

good to change every 6mo, but if you have a solar meter that can accurately detect UVB then i would say when it is only putting out ~70% and the bulbs actually drop to that around 3-4 months depending on how long they stay on per day.

Th T5 lamps last well over a year. If you have a meter you can get the most of them, if not replacing every 12months is a good plan.

Thank you Taterbug. I thought the T5 was good for a year just wanted to make sure.
