UVB light fixture??

[MikeyAutrey]

So I’ve been trying to find alternative light fixtures because of how expensive the zoo med ones are and I found this

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015TL6RH...olid=24IHVVKIEA53C&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it


however, idk if this will work with a T5 5.0 zoo med bulb! Any ideas?

Yes, this will work. This is a 24 inch fixture so you need the 22 inch 5.0 T5 bulb.

On our site www.caskabove.com we give some options, as well as explain the difference.

T5HO​

​

​

Size 46" Wattage: 54w
Size 34" Wattage: 39w
Size 22" Wattage: 24w

This is consistent, unlike labeling. make sure your wattage is same on fixture and bulb.

These will work, but they have poor reflectors. So you would be a little unclear on how much UVB is getting through. If you have a solarmeter you could test. But for the $10 more you can get the ones with better reflectors. On the site we list options.

What the heck is this? When I click on the link, I get a description of a 2-Foot High-Output T5 Fluorescent Grow Light Fixture, Bulb Included, but a picture of this:

I don't even know what that IS... Looks like a heating pad of some kind, but what's the Ultra HD 4K about?

I know I'm not hip to some of the new technologies, but...

Its a TV aerial you stick to a window like a booster I believe

Very odd... Yesterday when I looked it showed it correctly. @Klyde O'Scope it just does not like you and decided to mess with you.

That’s so strange! It wasn’t like that yesterday. This is a picture of what it was:

I have some of these too. They come with the good reflector and have been Solarmeter testes. Good product.

Those are the fixtures made by Shenzen Sunlight Lighting Co. (OEM), and sold under these names among possible others.

• Arcadia Pro T5
• Biodude T5HO
• Carolina Custom Cages T5HO
• Hydrofarm "Jumpstart"
• Sunblaster T5HO Nanotech
• Vivarium T5

They're all the same fixture. Mostly they're good except when there's an issue.

I'm glad it wasn't just me. I must have re-clicked & reloaded that page half a dozen times.

Yep I have bought multiples from them of that one. No issue of reflector.

Hopefully it won't happen again, but it was so hard to spot the first time.
It was only the Solarmeter that proved it.

Yeah I remember when it happened it was a mess for a lot of people. One of the many reasons I love having a solarmeter 6.5.
