Different Arcadia t5 fixtures?

[JayTheDragonTamer]

I’ll be ordering my first Arcadia uvb setup soon, after finally being convinced by everyone’s positive experiences and reviews.
I’m getting the D3+ Desert 12% T5 UVB tube, but I’ve noticed there’s a couple completely different designs of fixtures for these, and I’m looking for the best one. (Out of the Arcadia ones because I’ve been advised to match the bulb and ballast)

I know most people use the ProT5 kit, but I wanted to know if anyone here uses one of the other fixtures.
Here are all the options:

-The T5 Slimline luminaire:

T5 Slimline Luminaire - Arcadia Reptile

Provides a high LUX and safe, usable UV-B for pet Reptiles and Amphibians. The Arcadia Reptile Slimline, High Output-T5 UV-B fitting is a plug in, single cable with switch, ready to use reptile keeping miracle. This stylish HO-T5 fitting is suitable for use in or over all Vivaria and Terraria...

If there’s anything different with these 2 that’s either better or worse than the ProT, I’d also like to know that.

I’m also going to include the Pro Vivarium Canopy as an option, just out of curiosity. They are pretty bulky looking and probably unnecessary for a desert enclosure. I just want to hear if anyone has used these, for any kind of reptile.

I dont think the fixture makes a difference how ever the vivarium I have never seen so I cannot recommend that one - most use the Pro T 5 but I think as long as the fixture has a reflector and the Arcadia 12% desert bulb here in the states its called and in UK its the Euro bulb I think they are the one in the same but cant say for sure -- I can only tell you what works - I have not experienced the other fixtures or had someone have one of these other ones - you can ask CooperDragon on the other forum - he might know
