Any benefits to using 2 pro t5s

[MistakenCritter]

Hi guys, I was just wondering, is there any benefits to running 2 arcadia pro t5 6% instead of just 1? I have a large repti one enclosure and have a spare arcadia pro t5 sitting in the cupboard, so wondering if there is any added benefit to running 2 t5s

If you have a 48 inch wide enclosure, it is necessary to run two 24 inch UVB fixtures across the width of it, otherwise, I'm unsure

I think if your using it just for extra lighting it’s fine, if you intend for him to use for uvb make sure he has good exposure and the bulb is current. You wouldn’t want him trying to absorb uvb from it and it not being enough. But overall I think it’s ok.

Yeah so basically she is in a 4x4x2 enclosure, I already have a illuminize T5 running diagonally across the top of the enclosure and a jungle dawn also running diagonally, but I purchased a couple of the pro t5s at the same time as I purchased the jungle dawn and the luminize so just wondering if I would see any benefits for her by adding another uvb or would I just be wasting electricity
