Help with changing lighting

[Frostlord]

Hi guys, I bought my set up a while back off someone local and now its time to change the lighting.

I cant seem to work out how to unscrew the bulb, does anyone know how to do it?
Also can anyone suggest a good replacement?

Thanks

Hi
you unscrew the socket retainers first... then remove the bulb...
in other words - turn the "collar" of the socket around the bulb at each end.
hope this helps.


I assume you are in Europe because that is a 220/240v light... replace with the same bulb ... Arcadia.. because it is the best.
They are available in Europe and US.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot mate.

Do you know if I have to turn both ends at the same time?
Coz if I try one end it feels like the bulb will break

quick question to anyone who might know. How long do the arcadia bulbs last for before I need to change them again?
Based on a 12 hour a day use

The word around here is a year.

You should be able to turn them independently.

If you are talking about the T5 High Output, you should get at least a year from the 6% or 12% UVB tubes.

What type do you have?

I bought an Arcadia T5 12% 24W.

So that means I wont have to change it for a year?

Correct! That's what I use as well, and I change it once a year.
