My new cage ( Not built yet)with the Slider Hood has a 24" Reptisun 5.0 for it already, when that wears out I will give the Arcadia a whirl 
Now its in the Mid 30's... I could raise it a bit more I am useing a Zoo Med compact flouresent mounted horizontally. Like I said this bulb is only a few weeks old. I did some messing around with a 6 month old C.F. last nite. I put it in a dome fixture and took some readings..... This bulb has plenty of Life in it yet! 1 big discovery though.... mounting this bulb horizontally puts out WAY more UVB! I just made another reading,, holding the meter almost touching the screen.... Got 60! I wish I had'nt thrown out all those other bulbs after 6 months.... Ive been tossing money in the trash. Everyone should have 1 of these meters!!!!
The reason I am using the C.F. is because when i got my hood it was a Zilla..... I didnt like the little flour. tube light it came with & the Zoo Med would not fit. I also didnt like the Halogen sockets much either, although I did keep 1 socket for a 25 watt basking halogen. I replaced the 2 other sockets with ceramic 1's from the hrdwr. store. and could use the C.F. mounted horizontally the other socket now has a Day Blue 100 watt bulb for over all heat for the upper part of the cage. This hood was expensive & I couldnt see buying a different 1 so...... I modified it. Works great now!! You can see pics of his home & hood in "Meet Ernie" thread. Im getting good results with the C.F.
