Product description

Review: Made well with quality materials and can connect up to four together! - I love that this is switchable. I mean, I don't really need it to be. But the fact that it can is really cool. I have bearded dragons that I use these types of hoods that come with T5 bulbs. And for Bearded dragons, they use desert lighting. But I don't think it has anything to do with tropical/desert being a 5.0 or 10.0. I always read that it is the intensity of each one that is different. So, one is stronger than the other. And depending on how far away your reptile is from the light, is how you know which one to set it on. But I only know Beardies and am only talking about Beardies. Bearded dragons can use either one. It just depends on where the bulb is in the cage (on the outside of the lid or inside) and the distance between it and your lizard. For me, having a larger cage and it being a greater distance between the light and my Bearded dragon, and the fact that I always had it on top of the hood/light which was a metal mesh screen, I would need to use the higher intensity one. So, that would be the 10.0. In the beginning, when they were babies I remember using the 5.0 since they were in a 10 gallon tank. This light is suitable for many different reptiles. As I said, I use it in my Bearded dragon cages. I have another one just like this one that uses T5 bulbs. It is only a much longer one. I have been needing something about this size, 12 inches, to make up the difference where the other one came up too short. This one is 12.4 inches. So, a little over a foot long. Perfectly suitable for small cages. Or like in my case, when the first one didn't quite make it. You can place it on top of the lid of your cage or beneath it. I have always read that it is better to have it underneath, but I never had anything to help me do that. Which is another reason I'm really liking this kit. This kit includes everything you need to place the hood on the inside of your cage's lid, which is usually some kind of metal, like mine. A metal mesh-type lid, is a popular lid type to use with reptiles. It comes with a T5 UVB light already in it. These hoods use T5 UVB bulbs, and there are a lot on the market to choose from. The hood is an 8W T5 UVB reptile light hood. Now, for the third thing that I find really cool. You can buy another one and hook it up to this one if in the future, you find yourself needing a bigger cage. And that can hook onto a third one if needed. The listing says it can hook up to four of them. So, I thought that was really neat and a potential game-changer. It is made well with quality material. I'm not sure how long the bulb will last, but from past experience, you get at the very least 6 months of good UVB lighting. I also know from past experience that changing the bulb is super easy to do. It is just a matter of a slight turn of the bulb, and it pops right out. Same thing putting one back in. You set it in and then turn it slightly, and that is it! It can't fall out after that.
Review: Easy to set up and use. Works great for my young iguana. - I got this for my juvenile iguana. She already has the heat lamp but I wanted UVB on her too. The kit comes with both a 5.0 and 10.0 option, which is a really cool feature that will really come in handy if I ever want to use it for another species with different needs. You change it with the click of a switch. The fixture feels solid and the reflector is actually shiny, not cheap plastic. My iguana basks under it daily. No eye squinting or hiding from it, so the output seems right. Setup took maybe 2 minutes. Plug it in, clip it on the screen top, done. Cord is a decent length too. All round a really nice, simple to use light for any reptile.
