Hello!
I've received new lamp for my bearded dragon: Arcadia D3+12 UVB Desert HO-T5.
First thing is that I'm not able to find that lamp on Arcadia website, pinged them in Facebook and still waiting for an answer.
And the question: how suitable that lam might be for enclosure with 45cm height. Distance from basking spot to the lamp is 30-32cm. According to the guide on the lamp package, this is bare minimum, BUT I don't have a reflector.

Bouth that lamp on Amazon.de from Arcadia reseller - should not be a fake :)

I will help you when I get home- you need a fixture/ hood for the bulb-- I can post a website for that - are you in the UK?

I got the same lamp for my soon to be here beardie, and for best results you do need to get the reflector. How do you have the lamp mounted? Try looking up for the reflector, but I doubt you would find any that are not in a kit already so you would have to buy a full kit, which is a bit pricey. Distance between the lamp and animal at basking should be 30-45cm high.

Distance for a 12% bulb inside the tank w/ a reflector is 12-15 inches -- please find the correct size hood/ fixture

Once again, I don't think OP is in the UK.
I already said what you said, and reflector cannot be bought on it's own.
