How wide is the bottom of this fixture (at the widest point).? Can you run both bulbs at the same time with no problems.? Thank you!

Sorry no longer have unit. It was used for bearded dragon tank and sat directly on mesh screen lid. Bulbs never came in contact with lid so it wasn't a problem. Both lights had individual on/off switch.

I'm not home to measure the width of the bottom, but I can tell you that both lights can be run simultaneously with no issue at all.

The bottom of the fixture is about 4 1/2 inches. I run both bulbs at the same time all day long. But only keep the red one on at night. I've had no problems.

The bottom is not much wider than the 20 inches it says, but im not at home so I can't tell you for sure. But you can easily run the 2 bulbs at the exact same time. You just have to have two different plug ins that you can plug both light sources can plug into!

It's 5-1/2" at it's widest - sorry the base is 5-1/2" x 20". I am not sure about running both bulbs as I switch between the two. My assumption would be that the fixture would be rated to run both lamps. There are two cords/plugs running from the fixture & the lamps are switched individually (hence separate cords/plugs). So I think you would be fine.

Reviews are saying the bulbs are large. Does anyone know the dimensions? The total length, the bulb length and the width at the widest point? Thanks

Hello I'm using an older model installed around the 90s.I bought these new bulbs thinking that there wouldn't be a problem, turns out I was wrong.Sorry I can't help you though

My plants were about 2 ft from the bulb and did well. So one bulb could cover your two trays side-by-side, maybe even end-to-end if you swap them around every few days.

The bulbs are not that large, it is the box. The bulbs are a little over 5" long and 3" wide at the widest part of the bulb. I originally purchased the 40w and they were not bright enough. I have them in drop pendant fixtures above my breakfast bar.

Hello, Looks like your bulbs are F73 which means they are a different length not much but different. Your end caps don't have two pins they would have one push pin. I will add a lamp package that will work for you shortly.

These are great bulbs, just make sure your fixture can hold them properly. They are just slightly larger.

I've never had that problem. Buy quality bulbs from pet stores, not hardware stores. Also avoid bumping or shaking the fixture so you don't harm the bulbs.

Hi, I actually replaced existing bulbs with one size smaller, so that the lights don't protrude and shine in your eyes, rather than down light on the "globe" . A bit fiddly, but doable. It took 2-3 of us a couple of hours to assemble, including the electrician - but well worth the effort. It's a magical lamp, we love it.

Thank you for the information, I always go by "if it doesn't say that it is, then it's not". How much height do they add to the bulb? Are you happy with the adaption?

Same info as the other comments. This is a full size fixture that holds 3 bulbs. Not 6x6x6

No your bulb has a wide plug, not a narrow base like these particular bulbs do.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances.One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.

Never use bulbs with a higher watt than the fixture is rated for. I believe the light is only rated for 40 watt. It provides plenty of light.

It's around 10 inches :) Just a suggestion, tho. It'll be much better if you these bulbs for this fixture instead of the provided ones. Hope it helps! (Pack of 6) F54T5/865/HO 54-Watt T5 High Output 6500K Daylight Bulbs

Yes, as long as the total wattage of both bulbs does not exceed the maximum wattage for the fixture. Otherwise, this could be a fire hazard.

The light from this fixture is focused downward. I use two fixtures over some heavy equipment. It lights the equipment well, but not the rest of the room. Of course, you'd be trading two bulbs for one, so, at best, it would be half as bright as what you currently have.
