need help with lighting questions

[Pascal 2012]

Hello fellow cham lovers, today i have noticed my plants are starting to die and the time to change my reptisun 5.0 is approaching. Now i know this works great because people use it but I have done some research on the forums and I keep coming across these two things arcadia and 6500k (i think these are them). How do i know what kind to get for the arcadia and where can I purchase it as well? Will the light reach deep enough to keep my plants? Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome and greatly appreciated

Arcadia all the way look at my past posts of my lizards and tell me if yah think arcadia is good. They all improved within in a week of the switch amazing I tell yah also if you get a double fixture fill the other side with a full spec natural light buld it looks amazing

Thank goodness i ran into that a while back but was not having luck finding it again! So if I get something like this http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/24hot5dobufi.html I would be set right and usually my perch for my cham is 6 inches away would I have to change that?

Just wrote my first blog about lighting. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/decadancin/754-winter-lighting-schedule.html
Its about schedules, temps, etc. but it has pics of my Arcadia fixture. Also, I would definitely recommend Light Your Reptiles! Todd is a great resource. Let him know the cage dimensions and what you are looking for, and he can help you out . PM me if you have any questions. Just to answer your question about it penetrating the enclosure,... YES! I have the T5 High Output fixture and the reflector is awesome! The Arcadia's are definitely worth it in my opinion.

Alright I took the advice and sent Todd an email. Let me start off by saying that Todd was very nice, he recomended the quad instead of the dual for the size of my enclosure. I want to thank you guys for the advice and the help
