I am making my plans for an enclosure build. I ran across this when searching for lighting fixtures. Anyone ever used this?

I hadn't even thought about the reflector part! I'm having a hard time finding the brand you mentioned but I'll keep looking. Thanks for the help!Not sure I like the look of it, looks just like the type you get for fish tanks/ aquariums. You could use 1 bulb in it, but its surely more efficient to buy a single rail ballast. I use the Arcadia slimline T5 canopy, they are the top end of the market but amazing quality. I think having a good reflector is almost as important as having good bulbs, they will massively increase the efficiency of your bulbs focusing your light exactly where you need it.
My tanks are the same size as the one you are building and the ballance of light is perfect combined with an Arcadia Halogen basking spot.
I control my temperature by running both through a microclimate controller.
Nm.....I just read the description. Looks like they use 2 uv bulbs for max output.Awesome. Thank you. I'll see what my budget allows. The ones with the daylight bulb and uv bulb.......that daylight bulb isn't a basking bulb right?
