How many inches should the heat bulb sit?

sounds good, i just have no idea how to mount a t5 fixture... it’s super weird

Right so Bill does it on the metal shelving units that are like this. Then you build the shelving to the specs you need. You just have to find one that has the depth you need. But he does it where the top shelf is the one that the lighting sits on. Cage sits on a shelf below. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Style-Sele...VhY7ICh2X_AUZEAYYBSABEgK36fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

yeah, i would do this but i already have my repti-breeze stand for it. i’ll figure out a way to hang it from the ceiling...

Theres two metal plates that are for wooden viv attachment, im placing these into a shelf above my mesh cage, you could also suspend it with wires from roof. For reptibreeze xl size chrome shelving 610mm deep and wide enough to accommodate is over 200 quid. I don't have room for one those and you already got reptibreeze base which would make it redundant if you got one.

yeah i’m thinking about just hanging it from the ceiling... not sure how though

I did my own DIY! i drilled holes on the sides on the arcadia fixture, ran yarn through the holes, put a ceiling hook in. bam there’s my hanging arcadia fixture

Nice will be adjustable too

for sure! one side is leaning a bit than the other, gotta fix that and should be ready to go. If you do plan on doing this the reflector will come off a bit so just be sure to put it back on you’ll be fine

Just be careful it dont get too warm if it permanent

of course, the yarn wraps right on the metal connectors of the bulb so it’s not even hot at all! ??????
