I have the Zilla Critter Cage 20L. This cozy little critter tank is 12" deep. I mention this because my impression of the 30" T8 Light Fixture is that it is a little challenge to emit it's reported UVB levels through the Zilla screen cover. Has anyone...

I have a homebuilt cage 18x18x48 for a Bearded Dragon. I framed a cover using expanded metal and mounted the light to the cover inside the cage. General illumination. also have my UV spot fuxture and a heat lamp on the cover. I have sliding plexiglas doors for the front for access and viewing.

No. I had to purchase a T8 shop light fixture (Home Depot) to replace a T5 version I had on hand. I use it over a 90 gal. Aquarium in which I keep an adult female yellow bellied turtle. She's healthy and is still growing every year. I replace the bulbs every year. Good luck.

I just bought one and it says for tanks up to 12 inches deep. I bought another one and I will return this one.

Well its not giving us much information about spectrum but lumen level seems a bit lower then I would like, Using a fixture like this then I would stick to low to medium light level plants, if the mediums die out then you know you need to stick with low light level plants like java fern and anubias. Also depends on how deep of a tank you have. Try a few listed above, Would not buy a lot to try as they might end up dead.

The three bulb fixture would fit the XL Reptibreeze perfectly,. It wouldn't be too heavy, because the weight of the fixture would be on the metal framing instead of the screen. I believe the 4 bulb fixture, which I don't see in this listing, is 36 inches wide, which would be too wide for your cage.

Depends on the temps you're looking for. As another answer said exo-terra reccomends 4-16 inches, but the manual does say to keep the bulb 3 to 4 feet away from any reptile that the bulb can "sun burn" a reptile. My beardie started in a 20 long, the bulband basking spot off center which gave me about 30 inches diagnal to the cool side where i placed a hide. To let the dragon out of the light, that she never uses

We have one on our 55 gal. tank which is 48L x 12W x 20H. I would recommend you use two for enough light for your tank. One is adequate for our tank and much brighter than the flourescent fixture we had previously.

the aquarium is a rectangular shape and this standard light hood is 20 inches long. It is 3.5 inches high and 4.25 inches wide. Fits 18 inch fluorescent tube (T-8)

The holes aren't as big as a dime, but if your CWD is that small you might wait as stated in an earlier response. I like this cage for my Iguana and as far as setting a light on top of the cage, I use the rsptibreeze 36" hood that has a screen cover over the lights. I use a heater bulb and have had no problems with the PVC being damaged. Setting a light directly over the PVC wouldn't be a good idea. I think your CWD would love this

From the product page here on Amazon: "Product Dimensions: 14 x 6 x 10 inches"I can't confirm the measurements because the light is in my greenhouse. It's 10pm here and there is no light at this time of night. This fixture is on a timer and only on during the day. I use it for my turtles because the greenhouse glazing blocks UV light. I think your bulb would fit it with room to spare. This is a fairly large fixture.

It was quite sometime since I bought this. I put it on the tank for 1 day and decided it was too bright.Sorry I can't remember just how it fit. Do yourself a favor and look for something with dimming capabilities and color options.

Looks like it's around 5 inches deep. Easily covers a standard 60 watt lightbulb.

The 12" should fit. For example, my tank is 30" and the 30" light fits perfectly. But, if your tank is deeper then about 24" I would say you would need a more powerful light.

I have this fixture for my beardie, and I use a compact fluorescent UVB bulb by Zoo Med, and it fits perfectly! Here's the link for the bulb: Reptisun 10.0 Uvb Mini Compact Fluorescent

I have 1 unit on my tank which is 3' wide x 2' deep x 2' high. one light is fine; the edges fall of a just a bit but for a 6' tank should be good with 2 lights. I have it set to only to 65% at the highest as the light is brighter than my old T5's.

I am using this light with a 40 gal for my bearded dragon. He seems to be doing well, but with any light on top of the cage and not inside the levels will be diminished.

I have only one light on my 72 gallon bowfront (48" long, 24" deep) and it looks great; however, the far sides are not brightly lit. My corals are doing very well but I have softies, zoas, mushrooms etc. Two lights would be ideal and I would imagine a necessity for sps corals, clams etc.
