UVB light and wattage question. Please help!

[ashley7988]

So I got the 10.0 Reptisun bulb, its a 20 watt bulb. I'm having the HARDEST time finding a fixture for it. I've gone to 2 Lowe's, Home depot, and Walmart. I have found a fixture that fits a 24" bulb but it only supports 17 watts. Can I use a 17 watt fixture with a 20 watt bulb?

I have found the correct HOOD for the bulb but I want to be able to mount the bulb inside the tank not on top.

Hi, any 24" T-8 fixture will work for your bulb.

Okay thank you! I was just worried about blowing the bulb or it starting a fire
