Which brand fluorescent fixture do you recommend using this bulb in?

I have an old hood light fixture that I got years ago when I got my first Beardie. There is no maker's mark on it. It looks like Reptisun. But it is a hood type fixture that sits on top of the wire tank lid. Any correct size fixture should do. You can check them out at a pet store just to be sure and then come back to Amazon for the best price:)

The Ottlite brand is here: OttLite T1333E 13-Watt HD Electronic Ballast Replacement Tube or you can get a cheaper one here: Sunlite PL13/SP65K 13-Watt Compact Fluorescent Plug-In 2-Pin Light Bulb, 6500K Color I'm using the cheaper one right now. It does work with this lamp. There are different colors. I ordered "Daylight", but there's also Super White, Cool White, Soft White, etc.

I presume you are referring to energy saving bulbs, I guerss you can if you can get the correct cap. You should however use Rough Service RS bulbs which allow for frequent switching on and off and temperature fluctuations. See no value in using Compact Fluorescent bulbs.

(Assuming this is fluorescent). The issue is whether the bulb is the correct size. This should be marked on the bulb somewhere (along with the length). Anyone's bulb that size/length should work. Only issue then is whether the bulb has the correct "light" you want (daylight, etc.).

I've tried these bulbs in several different fixtures, including the fixture from the company. 6 bulbs in 8 months. Last replacement bulbs, one busted. Gave up. I now use plant bulbs from Walmart that are great. Plants thrive under them. The city you live in might have a nursery that carries them. Agrolite can provide you a location. Me; I'm sticking with what I'm using now. They last! Hope this helps my friend.Also; their fixtures are weak. Ballasts burn out quick. They sent me a replacement fixture that was not shown on their ad. The " new" fixture had "shop lamp" marked on it. So I paid close to $40 for it. Same fixture at Walmart, Home Depot had same fixture for 19.99. Buyer beware! I've tried these bulbs in several different fixtures, including the fixture from the company. 6 bulbs in 8 months.

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.

You'll need to read the specs. The difference may be that you can only use flourescent bulbs vs. regular bulbs.

Yes, you shouldn't worry about that :) But let me suggest you something: I highly recommend if you'll use this bulb for this fixture. For me, it's one of the best I've purchased because the light output, durability, and efficiency are impeccable. Also, the color of the light and the fixture blends well. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

Yes :) All you need are two fluorescent tube bulbs. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

I'm using the FeatherBrite bulb in a 3 lamp floor lamp which is very similar in design to a student goose neck lamp. The fluorescent full-spectrum bulb will fit any "standard" light socket. The bulb sticks out a bit but for me that doesn't matter.

Use the Eiko brand #93 bulbs. Other brands may become too hot and use too high a current, and damage your desk lamp.
