I need something in winter to give 23 year old tortoise proper light. I have used these for over 15 years and they have proved successful to proper health.

Probably one of the best purchases you could ever make for a reptile. This actually provides proper uvb/uva radiation, which makes me feel so much better about my care. Love this!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Perfect for Bearded Dragon

Owning a bearded dragon, I looked to the opinions of people who have successfully owned them for years. This is one of the three UVB lights they recommend and the best part is that it only needs to be changed ~every 6 months. This helped in recovery from my previous beardie that had ended up with MBD (metabolic bone disease) from not having proper UVB and Calcium Powder. I've had my new beardie a year now with no signs of MBD. Glad I didn't listen to the store employees on getting Petco's "Kit" that does NOT include the right lights for a bearded dragon to actually live.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've had to upgrade the UVB/UVA a couple of times now for my Red Foot Tortoise, and in fluorescent bulbs, I think this is about as strong as I can get. Keeping my fingers crossed this bulb will fit the bill!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Fantastic Solution to adding UVB for Beardies!

This is a great option for providing UVB for your Bearded Dragons in smaller enclosures. It increases energy, appetite, and activity.

How many watts is this? Where can I get the hood for it?
Is this the bulb recommended to sit on top of a wire screen cover? My girl is in a 120 gal aquarium with a screen cover on top. I want to make sure she will still get enough uvb without having to fixate it inside the tank.
- A t8 bulb does best inside the enclosure. You can attach it inside or you can get a t5 fixture and bulb that will sit on top of the screen

Is this a bulb and hood
- The Reptisun T8 10.0 bulb does not come with a hood you will need to order the hood separately.

Hi, does this come with a bulb and a hood?
- The Reptisun 10.0 lamp is only the bulb you will need to purchase the hood separately.
Helpful?
Will the 48" bulb work with a standard overhanging fluorescent light fixture?
- as long as it's a T8 fixture of the proper length, it should work fine. only thing you might want to add would be a reflector, as standard overhead fixtures don't always come with them. and double check the wattage on the fixture to be sure it matches or exceeds the bulb, for safety.

What light fixure will this work with?
- I use this light bulb with a hooded fixture that goes from one length of my terrarium to another. There are a number of long hooded fixtures that will take the above 24" 10.0 light, ....the size of the bulb obviously depends on the size of the terrarium. This is a light primarily for desert animals/reptiles conforming to their needs for heat and UVB rays. Most hooded fixtures have outlets for other bulbs as well, i.e. heat/basking lights. That's why I prefer a long hood to the dome shaped lights...the light above is almost the length of the terrarium, which allows the animal to receive UVB throughout the enclosure and also offers heat and night light as well.

What light fixture pairs with this item?
- Thank you for your question. You can use the 24" Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO High Output Terrarium Hood with the 24" Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Bulb. We have placed a link below for this fixture. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=25698
