Can I use the repti tuff 50w bulb in this hood?

I would say no, the hood only works with regular style bulbs (coil type, old school incandescent) there is not a lot of room in the socket area. I have 2 of these on each of my turtle tanks both with a zoo med uvb coil type bulb and a 60 watt incandescent for heat and it works great.

That depends more on the lampshade you choose. A bulb with a standard base fits in it. I used a 40W bulb because that's what was safe to use with the lampshade I chose.

As long as the bulb has a screw mount base you can use it in here. We used a 17 W LED bulb. They work great!

Yes. The bulb is safe to use in any standard socket/holder as a spotlight. It gives heat and some ventilation is necessary to prevent overheating.

I don't know about the bulb you have. this other one is a 60W candelabra type bulb that is about 50% brighter than a normal 60W bulb.

No you cannot use a regular bulb because it's deadly to reptiles, and in this model you need a special light bulb, look for it in related items. Hope I helped

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).

I'm not sure if it is the same bulb you need for a reptile heat source, it probably is the same; the "10" bulb means that you are buying 10 bulbs in quantity. They are very good and the customer service there is the best.

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

I bought two hoods for a standard 55 gallon aquarium. It should also work on a 20/29 high tank as well. At work so don't have specs. Nice hood but bulbs they give you are not as bright as I thought .

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.

You can, but its not gonna cool the 3rd bulb much as the heat is gathering up higher as air goes through tube.I would at least run a 700cfm to that setup, and that might not be enough. I havent even run more than 2 lights at once on a 700, and the exhaust air was over 95*

I'm sure you can find a 12v 50 watt bulb that will fit, but I don't know if the enclosure will be able to handle the additional heat that will be produced. If you're looking for brighter, I would try to find an LED bulb that will produce less heat.

You can, but will need different bulbs as the one that come are for 127volts

Yes. Just a standard bulb. For fish or reptiles switch it out for a uva/uvb bulb or plant bulb

According to the material that came with the lamp, you are only supposed to use a 40 w bulb, and it has to be small enough to fit in the shade. It isn't really bright enough for what I use it for, but . . . .

Its just a cage..a hood does not come with it for a light.If you want to place a bulb inside the cage you will need to make a hole..there is not one provided.
