Fluorescent Tube fittings

[Brad Ramsey]

Any hardware or home improvement store should carry these fittings.
They are primarily used for garages, workshops, etc.
Worklight, shoplight ...
I know they have them in the UK!

i went to "homebase" and "b&q" today looking for fittings and most of them had plastic covers over the actual tube so im still looking im still a bit lost

 

[tryme]

can people post up some pictures of some fittings as im still lost as to what to look for would be REALLY appreciated!

The "plastic cover' is simply a diffuser, ie basically a cover that softens and spreads the light out more.
You can simply take it off and discard it....you don't need this for this purpose, as you want to give your cham UVB and having a diffuser installed will stop any of the UV from hitting your cham.

This is probably the fitting you have seen, including the diffuser, the plastic bit.
remove it and your done!
Search the forum for lighting requirements and you'll see heaps of lights that we all use.
Hope this helps.
cheers
