UVB LIGHT QUESTION

[Ademetri2]

Hi
I've just purchased the 90cm exo Terro light Canopy that has 4 bulb holders and I'm struggling to pick the right bulbs for my bearded dragon setup. I'm looking at the UVB200 Compact 26watt coil bulbs but not sure if I need 4 of them or do I get 2 big ones 2 small ones. Any help much appreciated

Oooof andy man…. Welcome to the forum, unfortunately ur lighting is off to a bad start, absolutely NO COIL/compact uvb, B A D, they cause eye issues make lizards blind, they either offer too much uvb in a concentrated stream or little to none at all, ill attach some pictures of what most of us use here, get either fixture, they’re both good brands, its good u came here, you would of fried ur lizard real quick…..

Hi.
Thanks for your reaponse. I don't understand why they sell the Canopy for the terrariums. Exo terra use to do the lights like the ones you have showed me but they have replaced the units with the ones with the coils and over here in England they have good reviews. I'm stuck if what your saying is true as I've purchased the unit and not sure I can return. I got the unit as it sits perfectly on the Terrarium. Please check the links below just so we are talking about the same things
Kind regards
Andy

Thanks again for your reply I will be returning the Canopy top. Just to confirm the Arcadia product is suitable for my Terrarium which is 36x18x18 or 90x45x45 in cm with a mesh top
Thanks again
