Can someone please tell me the best place to get my t5 fixture I've been looking at all of the usual websites like lllreptiles and Josh's frogs but they are out of stock

If you want a dual these are good:
https://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-Agrobrite-FLT24-Fluorescent-System/dp/B002JQBQZQ

If you want a single these are good(or one of the 10 other ones that are clones)
https://www.amazon.com/Sunblaster-9...dp/B00AKKUBDQ/ref=psdc_14252961_t1_B00AKKULI6


You dont have to get one "with a lizard on it", i run plenty "that have a tropical fish on it" or "for hydroponics"

This fixture will work for the t5 reptisun 5.0 bulbs?

Is that the right link? That link shows a quad fixture rather than a dual (unless I missed something).
How are the reflectors (i.e. what kind or type) on that unit (dual or quad)?

The Sunblaster type (including clones) are a good fixture, but IDK if the reflector problem has been fixed at the factory level, or if the correction has worked its way through the supply chain.

A PROBLEM WITH SOME T5-HO REFLECTORS – January 2020 onwards

General note for the uninitiated:
Reflectors can increase (up to almost 100%) the output intensity of T5 bulbs, which can affect the bulb to basking site distance. They're good bulbs with or without reflectors, it's just good to know what you're working with (if you don't have a UV meter) to get that distance right.

yes. Its amazon, so you have to select your options. 2-4 bulbs, 2-4 ft, etc.

You pick your length and amount from the amazon drop down (plus OP didnt say anything another other than T5hO). The dual/quad is individual reflector.

THX. I didn't see that. Mia culpa.

The dual/quad is individual reflector.

Mirrored or white? (As per my general note above). Of course we should all be adaptable, but it's nice to know what we're getting—or are in for—in advance.
