You can get the fixture but i would change the bulb to a reptisun..... if you look at the reviews you'd most likely just end up spending more money than if you got ReptiSun T5 HO Light Fixture | Pangea Reptile | Zoo Med.

There was no purpose I think it was just for fire hazard and I’m pretty sure it blocked out all uvb

The fixture is ok but the bulb I would replace w/ the Reptisun 10.0 T 8- if you have a 40 + gallon tank I would go w/ a 24" hood w/ a T 5-
