Can you put a reptile UVB light in a standard aquarium light fixture?

How often do you change UVB lights? I'm assuming like 6 months?

Also is this sufficient for UVB for a 48" tall cage? Exo Terra Repti Glo 8.0 18inch-15Watt

Yeah you can use any fixture. Well assuming they are the same size. If you are looking for something cheaper hit Walmart or Home Depot for stuff like this. I got a ballist that holds two 24" flourescent bulbs for $9 at WalMart. Can't beat that.

The bulb rating should be okay. Just when you are setting up the cage remember to set-up areas that get close to the bulb. I would probably say about 6" in these areas.
