Warning: After inserting the lamp into the lamp holder, turn it 9 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise until you hear a audible “squeak” sound before turning on the power switch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reptile uvb light fixture This was easy to set up. Nice to look at too. Clean and not bulky. It was easy to mount inside my tank, but I ended up setting it on top because of the distance. I didn’t use the 5.0 bulb it came with. I instead used a Reptisun t5 10.0. So far it’s working well with the fixture. Great price and great product.Variation: Wattage: 24.0 Watts

4.0 out of 5 stars fairly good Very nice and bright for my custom cages I built, only issue I came across is the bulb burns out rather quick and they are a bit pricy to replace, not sure if its jus this brand in general but getting a different brand for the bulbs helped meVariation: Wattage: 24.0 Watts

5.0 out of 5 stars Turtle approved! My 16-year-old albino red eared slider female started slowing down recently. At first, I thought it was because it was winter time and then I realized that her bulbs needed replacing. Well, it took about five minutes after installing the second strip light to her basking platform for her to climb up and give me the look of approval. Thank you.Variation: Wattage: 24.0 Watts

5.0 out of 5 stars Great UVB Light — My Reptile Is Healthier and More Active I bought this REPTI ZOO T5 HO UVB lighting kit for my bearded dragon, and it has made a noticeable difference in his activity level and overall health. The light is bright, consistent, and provides strong UVB output across the enclosure. It was also very easy to set up — the fixture is lightweight, the mounting clips are sturdy, and the bulb fit perfectly with no issues.Within a week of using this light, my beardie became more active, had a better appetite, and started basking more. The UVB strength is exactly what reptiles need for proper calcium absorption, and this kit delivers without producing excess heat.The build quality also impressed me — the housing feels durable and the cord length is convenient. This is definitely a great upgrade compared to cheaper UVB setups.Pros:• Strong, consistent UVB output• Easy installation• Lightweight and well-built fixture• Reptile behavior and appetite improved• Good value for the qualityCons:• None so far — works exactly as expectedHighly recommend for any reptile owner looking for a quality UVB lighting setup.Variation: Wattage: 24.0 Watts
