Hello everyone. You were all so helpful to me when I first got my little Hermanns two years ago and I've continued to learn so much from browsing this forum. And now I need help/advice again.... I have used an MV bulb for daytime UVB and heat and am going to switch to a tube UVB and separate basking lamp. My problem is I cannot figure out the tube lighting fixtures! I've found some but they are "hard wired" which is not an option for me (I need one that will plug in), some links I've found here on the forum lead to a plastic fixture without any sort of reflector (do I need a reflector?) and other links that lead me to fixtures that say should be placed on a screen, but I understand that diminishes the UVB rays? I need one I can plug in but that I can also adapt to hang over the enclosure/table. There are so many different lights - T5, T8, 10.0, 5.0 - how do I know which one to choose? Basically I'm totally confused..... Any insight or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
