Lighting fixture Question

Does anyone know if this fixture will work for a reptisun 5.0? Found it at walmart, dirt cheap.

I believe the reptisun is a T8. If that fixture fits a T8, then by all means go for it! Make sure that you take the plastic bulb cover off...

I literally bought that same fixture 2 days ago, if you read the back it holds up to 17 watts.

The 24" Reptisun 5.0 is a 17W bulb, or at least the one I bought is...

It's a cheap fixture but still has a 1 year warranty, but hell if it breaks after a year I'll spend another $10 to be honest.

This fixture is for a basking light right? Is there a cheap version of the UVB bulb?
