I'm not sure if they do, but the site sponsor "Light Your Reptiles" has all of the lighting products that you would ever need.

Those are just 6500k bulbs. They are not UVB

You will need some arcadia T5HO 6% from light your reptiles, or reptisun 5.0 T5HO from zoomed.

Thanks guys! Another question for the reptisun 5.0 I have a small tube light for it, but people have told me it's trash. Is it just the shape of the bulb that's bad? Also should I go 10.0 so I don't have to bring down the light fixture?

Oh, will my fixture be okay or do I need to buy a different one as well? Thank you guys, I want the best for my chams

Your fixture should work fine with the arcadia. I dont have my bulb in front of me at the moment but you would have to see if the reptisun 5.0 is t5ho. Since your fixture is a High Output fixture I think youll be fine using a 5.0 bulb. I personally use a t8 fixture and a reptisun 10.0 bulb since my chams enclosure is dense with live plants and I need the UVB penetration.

Best scenario for lighting in your cage would be a fixture that is about the width of your cage that way the UVB is spread over a wider portion of the cage instead of a narrow spot that you see with the compact UVB bulbs.
