Hi everyone,

I've currently got a 14" Zoo Med T5 HO UVB fixture with a Repti Zoo 5.0 bulb inside. This fixture does not span the width of the cage; I need something around 22".
I was thinking of buying this one: Repti Zoo 24W T5 HO UVB 22" but I can't figure out if it's got a 6% bulb in it already or not.

22" really would be perfect for my enclosure, so does anyone have any recommendations? An Amazon link to the right fixture and the right bulb would be super appreciated.
 
Do not buy that one. It does not have the same output levels with the bulb they include that is not a brand that is tested within the hobby.

You want a T5HO 24 inch fixture (it would house a 22 inch bulb). Arcadia ProT5 with a 6% bulb or Reptisun T5HO with a 5.0 bulb.

There is no such thing as a 22inch fixture. Bulb lengths are 12 inch, 22 inch, 34 inch and 46 inch.

You will pay more buying these off amazon. I will grab you links. one moment. Many places sell the same thing.
 
So this with the 6% bulb option https://www.reptilebasics.com/t5-light-fixtures-kits/arcadia-prot5-uvb-kit-24-with-bulb/

Or this fixture https://www.reptilebasics.com/t5-light-fixtures-kits/t5-ho-single-bulb-light-strip-24/
buy this bulb for it https://www.reptilebasics.com/arcadia-forest-6-uvb/arcadia-d3-6-uvb-t5-bulb-22/

Difference is the first one is the prot5 kit by arcadia with the bulb and the fixture.
The second is just the fixture that has a PLANT BULB ONLY IN IT/NO UVB BULB . So you have to also buy the arcadia bulb to go into it and switch it out when you get it.
