A Lighting Question

Thank you, just wondering if the Arcadia PRO T5 plus D3 14% light kit will be too strong for my bearded dragon enclosure? She has an 8 foot x 2 x 2.

The 14% bulb can be used but you want a distance of 17-18 inches unobstructed --- the 12% bulb would be best

Since my enclosure is 8 feet long should I get 2 of the Arcadia lights and attach them together to get a distance if 44 inches or would a 22 and 34 be better?

You could use a 48" fixture - that would be half the tank -- you dont want full length of the tank they need to be able to get out of the rays if they want to w/ out having to hide from it -- https://www.pangeareptile.com/colle...o-med-reptisun-t5-hood?variant=26907425833060 48" T5 fixture holds a 46" T5 Bulb
