It needs a T8 fixture made for the matching length and wattage; many metric fixtures take a 600 mm 18 W tube rather than a 24 inch 17 W one, so check the tube already in your fixture before ordering. Zoo Med lists visible light and UVA only, so it is not a UVB lamp for reptiles. It does not fit T5 fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch off and let the tube cool before handling, and wipe water spots off the glass.
