Lighting Ideas???

[RobSquared]

I need some help. I am almost complete with my custom enclosure. Its 2 enclosures built in one assembly. Each side is approximately 22" wide x 22" deep x 48" tall. I need some ideas on what lighting I need for this. I know I need a UVB and a heat light. What would you guys run. I have Jacksons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would highly recommend getting a HO T5 double or quad fixture to run over top of both your setups. They would provided you with some of the best lighting for your cages. One bulb should be a UVB like the Arcadia 6% bulb and the others would be 6.5k daylight bulbs to give your chameleon and plants full spectrum lighting.

You would still need a basking light as you mentioned which would be just a normal bulb in a dome fixture to provide heat for basking.

Get a 4 foot light fixture to save cost.

Best place to buy is Light Your Reptiles who is a sponsor. Todd will set you up with the best lighting.

Could someone explain what an arcadia bulb is and what the percentage refers to? Like the equivalent of my 5.0 uvb would be what?

Edit: Also what does HO mean?
