Best Place to Buy Fluorescent Hoods

[jake01]

Hey guys, if anyone has suggestions for online retailers (or local, I live in Miami). Will need one that fits 24" bulb, and what I'm really looking for is a dual hood fixture. Thanks in advance. Places i've checked: petco, lllreptile.

You can get cheap dual hood from Home Depot for close to 24 dollars. You just have to add a cord.

Yeah? I went there they only had really huge 48"+ ones designed for kitchens/home/office interior.

That's where I got mine. A standard 24 inch shop light. All I had to do was add a cord. If you buy one from a store, your looking at 70-90 dollars on line, and into the triple digits at a big box or mom and pop store. Just out of curiosity, why a dual light? I decided to scap mine and go back to a single bulb fixture. The excess light seemed to upset my guy.

I just feel like it looks kind of dim in there with the heat and fluoro right now, and I was concerned about live plants thriving as well. TBH single bulb fixture works fine too since I could simply add a plant grow light via a normal clip fixture.
