I have a sulcata. When you upgrade to a bigger enclosure, do you buy more small arcadia t5 to fill up the space like 2 or 3, 24" ones or do you buy one 46" one. ? It might seem like a dumb question but im unsure which would be more efficient

Hello! You don't need UVB lights over the whole enclosure, so a single 22" over basking area is usually sufficient. What size is the enclosure?

For 2x6 you'll be fine with one 22" lamp.
