UVB light

[Pigmom]

My enclosed is ready for lights. It’s 5’ long. I guess I need 48” of UVB or is it better to use 2 24”? Can u tell me where to order fixtures and which one and what tubes? Thanks. Can the basking bulbs go in any fixture or does it need to be reflective

Do not get a fixture that is the same length as the tank - you want your dragon to be able to escape those rays w/ OUT having to hide from the UVB - if you want you can get a 24" or a 30" it is up to you --- I have a 24" in my 4X2X2 tank -- you can get the UVB fixtures from here these people are fast and very good they ship Fed Ex

w/ this bulb https://www.pangeareptile.com/store/zoo-med-reptisun-10.0-uvb-t5.html
the fixture comes w/ a 5.0 bulb - you can keep it for a back up but the distance and placement would be different as its considered to be a T8
My basking bulbs are in a reflective dome- I have Flukers domes
