Uv Light size question?

[Oski]

Hi for all those who use a 2x2x4 encloser what size Uv bulb do you use?

so it spans edge to edge? or bigger and put it on a diagonal? thanks

I use a 24" bulb and put it diagonally.

I use a 36 inch linear 5.0 buld and put it running the full length (almost) of the cage

Thanks 24 inches is 2 foot, so if i get that size i should be fine? as my panther currently has a smaller bulb and im not happy with it and want to get the correct size for my encloser.

Would putting it diagonally be worth doing too? thats how i had it before too on all my setups as the light rays seems to span more of the encloser. Thanks

If you feel it will reach more of the enclosure i would definatley put it diagonally
