what size light does it take, I am looking for a hood to hold a 36' light

36" Hood but it actually has a 24" light fixture built in. It does come with a bulb though iirc. It is a slender 36" hood too. Actually put a little masking tape along the side edges to "thicken" it up a hair.

This hood uses aT24 fluorescent bulb. It is not big enough to hold a T36 bulb.

Our light was 14 ". Read the details in description. After you get it, make sure they ship the right size. They sent us the wrong size but they corrected fast. Love the light.

This is an 18" LED bulb, not 36". My Rv has 2- fixtures with 18" and 1 fixture with 12" bulbs. I replaced all 6 bulbs with this brand of bulbs through Amazon. I am very impress with the light output. Too early to tell how long they will last. Amazon has 36" bulbs if you run a search.

I'd get the 36" fixture then buy a bigger tank. ;)But to answer your question, the 10 inch fixture unless you want some overhang.

If you can find the light only, you may the cost to be prohibitive. I think the best way is to purchase the complete hood and light assembly. I recently purchased the assembly because I found it difficult to find an acceptable price for the light alone. Sorry! I hope this helps.

I used the shortest extension to keep it tight to the ceiling. You will need to extend wiring to use the 36" rod.

I purchased the GRV 921 194 24-5050 LED bulbs (from Amazon) which are circular and fit inside the hood. These LED bulbs were giving off pretty good light (3w).

The hood is plastic with thin metal reflectors for the bulbs (lamps). It is rated for "60 watt type A lamp maximum". The bulb sockets are horizontally mounted, so clearance might be an issue if you are using something larger than a standard bulb size. Hope this helps.

It depends on the Light bulbs you use.The actuall hood is nothing more than cables with plastic cups to screw in the bulb so the dimension will always be the lenght of the bulb.

I suppose you could use it anywhere you have a fixture that would accept it. However most, if not all, hood lighting that I have seen is set up for specialized bulbs and from what I know, and I have raised fish for about 30 years, unless you have some sort of unique set up the bulb would not fit.

Hello, I have a 55gallon tank so I purchased the "36-48'' light. It lights my tank well but if I didn't have a canopy to cover the light, I would have ordered the 48" light as a light that completely covers the tank looks better if you don't have a canopy. Hope this helps. Rhandi

i find a couple here on Amazon using search words '36 inch hood for fish tank' and there seem to be more than one style available. This is where I found a replacement hood for my original when it got broke. Didn't have any luck finding just a hood at any local pet stores. I've been a fan of Top Fin products.

you could get chrome molding 1" wrap it around light that will give you a little more diameter.

This hood does include the actual lighting fixture. One measures just 24" long.

I have not seen 36" bulbs, I use 18" and 12" I use only one bulb in place of two as they provide better light. They also reduce the amount of energy used which is great when dry camping. I have been using these bulbs almost 4 years now. LED lighting though somewhat expensive upfront will save you money over time.

Go to TerraLux website. They have a product selector which shows what you need. I have the same light as you and am trying to find an upgrade on Amazon.
