Arcadia Cage Mount Fixture for CFL?

Postby vana » Thu May 04, 2017 12:52 pm

Anyone used the Arcadia Cage Mount Fixture for CFL with UVB bulbs?

I was thinking about using these in an Animal Plastics cage I was planning on ordering. I thought they would lower the light a little closer to the skink. It would be mounted inside the cage on the roof. Very expensive though. Any thoughts?

Looks fine to me.

I use NanoHoods, that simply hang under the top of my tanks and rearing tubs , very easy .... simply remove the refector , drill a couple of holes in the black plastic hood slightly wider than the self tapping hex head screws I use to mount / fix them , power driver to screw the screws into the lop (I drill slightly smaller pilot holes to guide these and make it easier to screw them in) , replace the reflector , install the CFB , and all done.

Decided to go with a linear bulb instead.
