New light setup

[Ab093]

I'm looking for a new light setup and was thinking of doing one of those double light fixtures and having my UVB light and a light for plant growth. Im just not really aure what to go with. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Best set up for me is using 6% Arcadia UVB bulbs w/ a 6500k grow light housed in a T5-HO Double light fixture.

You can get the 24" light fixture here:

22" Grow light here:

22" 6" Arcadia here:

(Also browse the site, I think they still sell complete lighting kits)

The links I gave you is what I currently have.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. One question, what size is your cage? Idk if I should get a bigger one or not. My cage is 4'x3'x2' and I've already got a 24" fixture. I just wasn't sure if I should use a bigger one

I have a 2x2x4 (LxWxH) and it fits perfectly on top. I like the 24" hood because I get an even dispersment of UVB/Grow light.

Seeing your cage is pretty large, assuming its 36" wide I'd get a 36" hood.

You can always message Todd, who owns LightYourReptiles dot com. He's a member on this forum aswell as a site sponsor. His username is Venutus1. You can PM him with lighting questions and he can give you great options and recommendations. He can even build you a lighting kit for your enclosure and get you started.

I highly recommend Arcadia lights with a grow light. Arcadia lights bring out colors on your Cham, cage looks allot brighter and balanced too. Grow lights are a must if you want to keep your plants alive if your enclosures inside.

Alright thanks a lot! Fortunately I don't NEED to replace it at the moment so I get some time to save my money up for a new setup.
