Can someone recommend a UVB bulb that will actually fit flush inside this dome?

I have this fixture for my beardie, and I use a compact fluorescent UVB bulb by Zoo Med, and it fits perfectly! Here's the link for the bulb: Reptisun 10.0 Uvb Mini Compact Fluorescent

I don't think any bulb would fit right in there the whole thing is a bit awkward but as long as it works and produces UVA and UVB then I'm happy

I ran into the same issue years ago when I would buy lamps in Europe. At that time, I would just change out the sockets. Yes, you have it backwards in this case, you need a reducer, from E14 to E12, which will not have the height problem or visual I had going the other way. I believe Satco makes one, there are probably others, just research E14 to E12 reducer. Best wishies, enjoy your new treasure. PS Or you can buy the E14 LED Bulbs in the USA, which is how I got involved in all this.

I ended up returning this fixture because it was a little bigger and bulkier than what I wanted. Check out lumens.com. They have tons of selections and their customer support is probably the nicest and most helpful of any website I have ever dealt with.

UV Bulbs that are compatible with this lamp can be found by searching the item B005CU5382. Be sure to order from Bargainsources because the right UV bulb will be shipped. Thank you.

you are ok w/ respect to wattage; however, plse bear in mind that this is a very large bulb and bulb needs wide fixture & room "to breathe" for best function; also make sure that shade is wide enough for this bulb's dimensions with extra room "to breathe"......

Either open or enclosed is fine; the bulb produces very little heat. Just insure your glass dome has enough space for this bulb; it is a bit tall

I couldn't find one that would fit, so I wrapped the light with parchment paper and clips. Added more to diffuse the light. Wish there was an optional accessory for it though. :/

I have not had that problem either. Other than buying a good bulb and being careful not to bump them ESPECIALLY when they are on I would say to be sure you are buying correct bulbs (wattage) for the domes. The domes have a maximum on the box of what you should put in them.

It takes a small bulb to fit, so would check and see if there are any such bulbs made bright enough.

I would go with the low wattage uvb bulb.. and give it a cool spot and a warm spot..

After some searching, I found these 25-watt "replacement bulbs for lighted mirrors" on Amazon that work perfectly. They are the same shape (short rounded "tube") and the "candelabra" style base fits in the globe socket. They are nice and bright, like the globe product photo. (The 4 watt night-light bulbs are great if you want it on all night, but you can't tell it's on unless it's dark.) If you go with another candelabra-base bulb, be aware that it must be short like the night-light kind you get at the grocery store (4 watt), or you won't be able to squeeze the globe back on (the pointy kind doesn't work). These are 2 1/8" tall, and the screw base is 7/16" wide (just under 1/2"). Hope this helps someone!

Designed for an incandescent, I had trouble fitting anything bigger than a 9W spiral CFL. Any LED bulbs that I'm aware of would be physically too big for the small horizontal bulb compartment. You might fit it in there, but you'd see where it rests against the glass diffuser.

Amazon have it too http://www.amazon.com/365nm-U-shaped-Replacement-Curing-Light/dp/B009VD3J3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1395773924&sr=1-1&keywords=9W+UV+bulbs Search for 9W UV bulbs

This will fit in just about any dome light fixture... it also comes with multiple adapters to fit all styles of light sockets. It is a plain white and is ultra bright... it is brighter than most dome lights even in today's model cars. Well worth the price!

A BR30 bulb will fit, and I highly recommend using this one: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 8-Watt (65-Watt) BR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

I am using both heat and uv bulbs for this this type of dome for several months. I think you can you both without any further problem.

I would not put a high powered basking bulb into this light fixture at all. It will almost certainly cause the plastic housing to warp. We use a separate dome for the basking bulb and use this fixture solely for UV bulbs.
