uvb light fixture

[reptilover]

I'm looking Into a light fixture that will hold 2 24" tube lights. Should I put two 5.0 lights in there? Is It over kill? Does It equate to a 10.0 like logic says it should?
Or just stick one tube 5.0.

The fixture is perfect fit to my cage so my hearts set weither I use both fixtures or not.

I use just 1 on all my cages, and from all the info i have read on here thats what most people use also.

I agree.
I'm just getting a new fixture that custom fits to my cage and has two fixtures.
So wanted to know if it would be beneficial to add a second bulb or risky for too much UVB and too much light for his eyes

I tried a 10.0 after using the 5.0 and one of my panthers was messed up for a few days, he wouldnt ckme near the top of the cage and wouldnt eat. Not positive but i blame it on too much uvb

i would put a 6500k in one for plant growth and a 5.0 in the other imo that would be best
