Oh erklerose! I got my uvb light and my basking light mixed up in my head for a minute! Lol! I’ll change it right now! Where should I put the sansi light?

No problem, the UVB bulb should be rotated 90* so it’s going in the same direction as your basking branch

An arrangement something like this should work:

With the basking light tilted at an angle to shine under the plant light.

If the basking light is in a double dome, just turn it 90 degrees, and then tilt it a bit.

Wherever it fits and still has good coverage

Thanks guys. The cord in this sansi light is short so it’s not very easy to arrange it.

Is there a trick to these uvb bulbs because this one I had to put the bulb in myself and it keeps flickering and going out on me then I twist the bulb and it comes back on but it is an ongoing battle.

Thanks guys. The cord in this sansi light is short so it’s not very easy to arrange it.

I think mine are about 3', so I used a couple of outlet cubes I've had around since the '70s(?) and some newer extension cords. Fortunately, these kinds of lights won't draw enough power combined to overwhelm a single outlet.

 

[Lindasjackson]

Thanks. I think I have it arranged the way you showed in the diagram. I figured out the uvb to, I just hadn’t twisted it far enough to seat the bulb. I was afraid of breaking it but I’ve got it seated in there now so all is well. Lol!

When I first set up my Mist King I bought the special little plastic piece to secure the nozzle thru the screen. Since then, I’ve just used random bits of plastic (scrap from making vents in my big bins) which work just as well as it’s not something that gets any movement.

Okay thanks miss skittles, I can do that to.

Fiberboard, plywood scraps, appropriate sized aluminum or brass blanks—are all good for that too. They could even be 3D printed.

Great idea!
