Proper lamp for my Yellow Foot

[finetrim]

I,m setting up a 3x6 enclosed table, My question is what T5 HO lamp to use.
UVB - 5.0, 10.0, 12.0%
Watts - 32, 40, 54
Yellow Foots not liking a lot of light, my thought was a 32wt but unsure of the UVB%.
And I understand Arcadia makes the best lamp, but I,m unable to locate an online seller here in the USA. I find Zoo Med ReptiSun on Amazon.

Thanks

I have a similar species...Red Foot and I use the Reptisun 5.0 florescent tubes. The 18 inchers. Nice looking tortoise by the way.

I have the 10.0 and use lots of plants to create a canopy type atmosphere to shade a lot of the light.

Thank You, I,m working with a 48" I think the 32wt / 5.0% will just fine. Thanks It's been 2 weeks, She had lost her home and was in limbo before I acquired her.

I think the requirements for R/F are very similar. No bright lights ( like tortdad said) and not a lot of heat required. Mine love 78-85 degrees.

The 5.0 or 10.0 32W should be plenty. Mine bask on cool mornings so bright lights are not necessarily a problem. Humidity is the more important factor. Keep it as high as is possible.

Thanks for the help. The humidity was a challenge but a cover cured that.
