carbonatom13 Jun 27, 2004 08:50 PM

i know that everyone recommends the zoo med 5.0 fluro bulb and i wanted to get a 24" one but i can't seem to find a fixture for it...i've been to home depot, lowes, and walmart looking today...

where can i get one because i would much rather use a fluro bulb than get a powersun....what do u think??????

thanks

The 18" fixtures are a lot easier ro come by, I know. You might just consider going with an 18" bulb. Your cage is probably 2 ft wide though. If you can't find one, I'm sure you could order one off the internet. Or better yet, ask home depot if they'll special order one -they won't charge you shipping. I'm workning on two 2' wide cages, so I'm just going to suspend one 48" reptisun over both of them.

GE's 28 inch fixture holds the 24 inch bulb..that is the only fixture that i can find that the exo terra bulbs will work in.

Go to the lighting section, they have several fixtures great for inside mounting.
The grow stick it one, there are several others. All you have to do is swap the bulb. I have two of them in my NeoDesha nesting cages.

Good luck.
