Reptisun T5 vs. T5 HO

[JellOh]

What's the difference? From my readings and basic understanding of light bulbs the HO should be better, but it's half the price. Am I missing something or has PetCo gone a bit wobbly? The T5 is $50 with the T5 HO is $25. I'd rather get the HO because a) it's cheaper and b) it'd fit in the viv better, but I don't want to slack off and relies that it's actually worse then the regular T5.

Reptisun doesn't make a T5 and a T5 HO. They only make a T5 HO and a T8.

The HO does put out more uvb than the T8 bulb.

My bad, I must have read it wrong. I've ordered the T5 and it should be coming in Thursday. How good are the Zilla UVBs? While looking for a Zoo Med I could only find the Zilla brand and had to order the bulb from a local pet store.

The zillas are junk.

I figured, that's too bad. Thank you for the help

No problem let us know how you like the T5.
