Good Plant light???

[nj011908]

I dont have money for a T5 so that being said i have a t8 fixture im using and was wandering if anyone knows of a plant /UVB light, Let me make this clear, i have a dedicated reptisun uvb 10.0 and im just looking to add another light and would like one for my plants and if it also provided UVB that would be great. I am using a T8 and again do not have the 100ish dollars for a arcadia set up at the moment, maybe in a couple of months, I rather my money go to good food and supplements for my cham, the reptisun 10.0 t8 seems to be working just fine. Thanks a bunch in advance

What size are you looking to get? Here are two links for a 48" T5 light and reflector. The reflector is a must to direct light down. Both for under $40. It comes with a 6400k bulb.

thanks but i am looking for a 18 inch "T8" only, i am looking for a bulb that would give off uvb/uva for both plant and chameleon, I already have a reptisun 10.0 on him

You are not going to find a bulb that puts out UVB that also puts out enough light to suffice for plant growth. That being said, you dont need it. The REpti sun is fine for UVB, go to HD or lowes in the light section and you will find a 18" bulb for plant use. That will work just fine.
