T5 Reptisun 10 with reflector

I have searched and scanned this site as well as others and have not found the answer I'm looking for. I'm going to be building an enclosure for a future beardie. I want everything done and running properly before getting one. I like the look of a little taller enclosure, somewhere between 24 and 30 inches, so there can be more levels of rock/wood for climbing. Do to space constraints, the tank will be 42x20.

To get the UVB to extend deeper into the tank, I am looking at the Sunblaster fixture with the reflector.

Without the reflector, I have seen it said thet they should be able to come within 6 - 8 inches of the light. What is a good but safe distance with a reflector?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
