Got my Arcadia T5 today!

[GreenFlinger]

Got my first UVB T5 Arcadia bulb today from Todd over at "light your reptiles"! Customer service over there us top notch btw. Its a 4ft, and plugged it into the 4 bulb fixture I have over the cages. I had a 4ft T8 up currently along with the T5 fxture because my cages are 6ft tall and the lights are all the way at the top. But with this Arcadia T5 UVB bulb, im thinking I can kick the T8 to the curb. Im thinking about going with 2ft bulbs on my smaller cages as well.

Is it t5ho? Could you post a pic of your enclosure lit by only the t5 please. I'm planning a large heavily planted build and want to see how the light penetration is. I'm currently thinking 3 t5ho (one uvb, one 6500k, and one 10000k)

Here is a 2x6x5 cage lit with a t5ho arcadia 12% and 6500k bulb.
The hibiscus and pothos grow well with just that, so well theyre growing out of the cage at the moment...

Thank you. It looks good. Those T5s really crank out the light.
