Lighting for 20 g

Lighting for 20 gal enclosure...
I will be getting a 3-4 month at the reptile show this weekend from a trusted breeder I've dealt with before.
I have a 20gal tank for the start. I can't find long UVB lights for the tank.
Here's what I've found.
Any recommendations until she's moved to a larger tank.
Thanks

Get the Zoo Med fixture 24" and use the 5.0 bulb that comes w/ the fixture -- it will need to be unobstructed w/ a distance of 6-8 inches directly over the basking decor --- when you move her / him into the bigger tank replace the 5.0 w/ the 10.0 bulb - it will need to go into that tank w/ a distance of 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor piece
