This is the one I use since I use the 24 in bulbs to cover more of my tank. Just attach it inside the tank with command strips or hooks or industrial strength sticky Velcro for easy removal

I bought this one off Amazon.

I tried Home Depot but they didn't have 24" ones.

I have the Lights of America 24" fixture. It is white with an on/off switch and a cord. I got it on amazon, was harder to locate than I thought! They used to sell them at Walmart but nothing even semi close to me had it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00004WA4D/ref=sxts_bia_sr1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493788482&sr=1&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2973120562&pd_rd_wg=xYQ6I&pf_rd_r=E3NXE7CVPAE9JXRRR6P5&pf_rd_s=mobile-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=9701&pd_rd_i=B00004WA4D&pd_rd_w=E5U9A&pf_rd_i=lights+of+america+24&pd_rd_r=0Z941BC8FHRSEETT6M71&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65
It comes with a plastic covering on, just remove it and keep it off.

I use this one:

I've had to replace it twice, but it's only ~$8 at Walmart.

u/theadj123 · 2 pointsr/BeardedDragons

Home Depot or Lowes have lighting departments, you're looking for an under the counter fluorescent fixture. You can also order one from Amazon, for example here's one for 25 bucks I found including the keyword search (and I have this same fixture myself) https://www.amazon.com/Lights-America-7020-Fluorescent-Light/dp/B00004WA4D/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1538554434&sr=8-7&keywords=24+under+cabinet+lighting+t8 The fixtures for these lights aren't special so any fluorescent fixture will work, only the bulb output is special.

Really sorry that I've only noticed your reply just now. Hopefully you've figured it all out, but if not, see below for the items I use:

Light Fixture: http://www.amazon.com/Lights-America-7020-Fluorescent-Light/dp/B00004WA4D

ReptiSun 10.0 24": http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-ReptiSun%C2%AE-Fluorescent-24-Inch/dp/B0009YHSWK

3mm Mounting Tape: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Heavy-Mounting-1-Inch-50-Inch/dp/B00004Z4A8

Remove the plastic shroud and included bulb from the light fixture. Affix a full-length strip of the mounting tape along the back, and place the fixture inside the tank, centered and near the top. You'll have to snake its power cord through the tank's lid. Then pop in the ReptiSun bulb and switch it on. You're good to go, just be sure to replace the bulb roughly every 8-9 months.

I don't have many front-on images of my beardies' tanks, so here's an image of my crafty escape artist using his log and the light fixture to break out.

I have my UVB in one of these, stuck to the inside corner of the tank with a bunch of heavy-duty velcro 3M strips.

Here is a thread that describes how to set up the lighting.

Is the 82F the basking spot or just the ambient temp on that side of the cage? You want the basking spot to be 105-110F for a baby. You can getting a higher wattage bulb - you can buy regular incandescent bulbs instead of the reptile ones if cost is an issue, just make sure it is not coated with any color like the Reveal bulbs.

Actually, I'm a little confused. The UVB is normally a fluorescent coil (which is bad) or a tube (only some brands are ideal for beardies). If you are using a regular CFL bulb for heat, you won't get very far as they don't put off much heat. You want this UVB bulb, this fixture works with it and can be found at Walmart for about $8 in the lightbulb aisle, and you need a bulb for heat as described above.

Let me know if you need more assistance. You might want to read the Care Guide in the side bar that merlyn wrote - it is very good.

u/MelodramaticMe · 1 pointr/BeardedDragons

Okay, I was on mobile earlier so I couldn't tell you everything I wanted to. Those stick-on thermometers aren't very reliable and they measure the ambient temperature - you need to be able to measure the temperature on his basking spot. I use one of these which are pretty cheap from amazon. His basking spot should be right around 105F. It is pretty important that you get a good thermometer and find a bulb that gives you the correct temperatures.

The other issue is his UVB lights. Those tank kits usually come with coil UVB bulbs, which do not give out adequate UVB for beardies and have been known to cause eye problems as well. This ReptiSUN 10.0 bulb is the one you need for a 40 gallon tank. It will fit in this plug-in fixture (the plastic cover needs to be removed and thrown away). This thread on bd.org explains how to set up proper lighting. I highly recommend reading through this care guide to double-check the rest of your setup and husbandry.

Please let me know how Hagrid is doing and if you have any other questions! :)
