Reptisun Fluorescent tubes

[sebitto]

Hi, having read the problems some people have had with their chamaleons and UV compacts I´ve decided to switch the lighting on my Panther Chamaleon to a flurorecent tube (T8 UVB 5.0). I notice these tubes come with different Watts (14W, 15W, 18W, 30W, 36W). I was wondering which of these might be most appropriate for a 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm cage. Thank you.

(edit) Just answered my own question. The wattage is length dependant (will use a 15W ie 45 cm tube)

they all put out the same amount of UVB just to clear that up, but yes you did answer your own question, different length = different wattage, but same output
